- PIE Action Painting Studio Basel
- 2.5 hours
Up to 20% discount for Members
Sculpt. Swipe. Splash. Let the coastline take shape.
In this hands-on textured art workshop, we’re heading seaside — no swimsuit needed. You’ll use plaster, modelling paste, and a mix of tools and materials to sculpt your own beachscape, building up textures that feel like real sand, foamy waves, and weathered shoreline details.
You’ll learn how to create and shape those beautiful, foamy waves, and how to work with different materials to achieve a variety of tactile effects within one piece. From soft, grainy sands to dynamic water movement, this session is all about turning your canvas into something you can almost feel.
The Atlantic has many faces — calm, wild, deep, or shimmering — and that’s exactly the spirit of this workshop. You’ll choose your own colour palette, define your own wave dynamics, and shape the mood of your coastline in a way that feels personal to you. It’s one of our favourite examples of how a simple theme can lead to completely different, unique creations.
If we had to recommend one workshop to start your journey with modelling paste, this would be it.
✨ How PIE Semi-Guided Workshops Run
You arrive, take a breath, pick your welcome drink and settle into your spot at the table where the magic will happen. We start on time, so make sure you`re there and ready to dive in.
Next, your instructor takes the stage, giving you a quick, easy intro to the materials — a clear theme and technique to start with – think of them as your creative launchpad. From there, it’s all about what you do with it.
Then the fun really begins. Our instructors are there to show you the essentials, share tips, and keep you inspired… but the real magic happens when you dive into your own creative waters ;) Follow the guidance closely or take a playful detour – both paths are perfect.
It’s the ideal balance of support and self-expression: enough structure to feel confident, enough freedom to surprise yourself. A little deeper, a little more intentional, and always a lot of fun.
At the end, we bring everyone together for a group photo — your finished piece, great vibes.

Splash. Drip. Splatter. Total freedom.
The perfect stress release after a tense week.
In this action painting session, you’ll suit up in full-body protective overalls, grab your colours, and step into a space designed for making a glorious mess. Channel your inner Pollock as you throw, pour, drip, and smear paint with energy and spontaneity.
But this experience can be as wild — or as introspective — as you want it to be.
Beyond the action, this workshop also opens the door to intuitive painting: a space to slow down, tune in, and connect with your inner landscape. Through a short but meaningful introduction to colour theory, you’ll explore how thoughts and emotions can be translated into colour, movement, and form.
You’ll experiment with layering, different tools, and a wide range of mark-making techniques — from bold, expressive gestures to more subtle, intentional strokes. Throwing paint is just one of many possibilities — you choose where to place your focus.
No rules, no pressure — just pure expression, guided by our artists who support your individual approach and meet you where you are.
This is more than fun — it’s liberating. You’ll leave not only with a unique artwork, but with new ways to express yourself, release tension, and tap into your creativity — on and off the canvas.
✨ How PIE Action Painting Workshops Run
You arrive, take a breath, pick your welcome drink — and instead of sitting down, you step into it. You’ll get your protective overalls, switch into painting mode, and get ready to let go a little. We start on time, so make sure you’re there and ready to dive in.
Next, your instructor takes the stage, giving you a quick, easy intro to the materials and tools — showing you what’s possible, how to move, splash, layer, and play. Nothing overwhelming, just getting you comfortable and ready to experiment.
Then the fun really begins. You’ll explore layering, different tools, and a wide range of mark-making techniques. The space is yours to explore: move between the splashing area, where you can let loose, and the refining area, where you can slow things down and shape your piece. Throughout the session, your instructor is there to guide you with personal tips and support.
At the end, we bring everyone together for a group photo — with your finished piece and great vibes.
No prior experience? No problem! We provide everything*:
- A chill, friendly atmosphere
- All the necessary art supplies
- Full-body overalls and shoe protection
- A mix of demonstration & individual guidance
* We provide protective overalls, but we highly recommend not wearing your favourite or most expensive clothes, as paint may still seep through. Please also bring a pair of socks that you don’t mind getting paint on or wet.
All you need to bring is your good vibes and curiosity! We’ll take care of the rest — starting with a complimentary welcome drink 🥂 to spark your creativity.

Chamomile in Bloom: Texture, Light & Depth
This one is gonna be a beautiful painting session dedicated to our favourite, the chamomile flower. This time, we’ll be working with textured paste and the palette knife as our second protagonist.
You will learn how to shape the simple yet iconic chamomile petals, placing them in perspective to create a real sense of depth and movement. Along the way, we’ll also explore the basics of colour mixing, focusing on achieving those vibrant, high-contrast harmonies between warm yellows and cool blues.
A tactile, expressive session where texture, light, and colour come together to bring the chamomile to life.
✨ How PIE Semi-Guided Workshops Run
Ready for a painting session that gives you just the right mix of direction and freedom?
At our semi-guided workshops, you get a clear theme and technique to start with – think of them as your creative launchpad. From there, it’s all about what you do with it.
Our artist guides are there to show you the essentials, share tips, and keep you inspired… but the real magic happens when you dive into your own creative waters ;) Follow the guidance closely or take a playful detour – both paths are perfect.
It’s the ideal balance of support and self-expression: enough structure to feel confident, enough freedom to surprise yourself. A little deeper, a little more intentional, and always a lot of fun.
No prior experience? No problem! We provide everything:
- A chill, friendly atmosphere
- All the necessary art supplies
- Pre-prepared templates
- Step-by-step guidance from our instructors
