Sculpt. Shape. Sunbathe. A beach day on canvas.
In this semi-guided textured event, we’re going overhead — your view of the seaside from above. With modelling paste and paint, you’ll shape foamy waves, sandy shores, and scatter tiny umbrellas with sunbathers below.

✨ How PIE semi-guided events work
Ready for a painting session that gives you just the right mix of direction and freedom?
At our semi-guided events, 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.

The Golden Touch
Paint & Fun: PIE Ceramics Event
- Workshop
- Beginner
- PIE Ceramics Zürich
- 2 hours
Up to 20% discount for Members
Golden Luster Ceramic Workshop
In this special 2 hours workshop, you will learn how to apply real gold luster to your ceramic pieces and create elegant metallic accents that shine after firing. This class is suitable for beginners as well as returning artists who want to elevate their work with luxurious details.
What we will do:
Over the course of two hours, our instructor will guide you through the process of working with golden luster—how to prepare your ceramic surface, apply the luster safely, create clean lines and decorative highlights, and achieve the best results after firing.
Bring your own pieces – or use ours:
You’re welcome to bring glazed ceramics you previously created in our studio, or you can choose from a small selection of studio pieces provided for the workshop. Gold lustre can be applied to most glazed surfaces, adding beautiful accents such as outlines, patterns, lettering, or decorative highlights.
One medium sized piece to paint is included, and you can still choose more items on the spot.
Important information:
1. Health & Safety
Golden luster is a speciality ceramic material that contains real gold and should be handled with care. It has a strong smell, so we’ll use small amounts and keep the room well-ventilated. Please avoid touching your face while painting and wash your hands thoroughly afterwards.
Keep luster away from food, drinks, and personal items. A tiny bit goes a long way—use it sparingly and always keep jars closed when not in use. If you’re pregnant or sensitive to strong scents, please let us know so we can offer extra guidance or alternatives.
We’ll show you exactly how to apply the luster safely, and all firing is done by us. Your golden pieces will be ready for pickup in about two weeks.
2. FIRING
Golden luster requires a separate firing at a lower temperature. Because of this, you will not be able to take your pieces home after the class.
Firing takes approximately 2 weeks, after which you can pick up your finished ceramics at the studio.
3. Cost & amount
Please note: Gold luster is a very precious material — it contains real gold and is therefore quite expensive. For this reason, we use it only in small amounts during the workshop and allow only limited golden details. This ensures that everyone has enough material and that we can work with it responsibly.
📦 A Few More Things to Know
- No need to bring anything – just wear something comfy you don’t mind getting a bit clay-kissed
- Please arrive 10–15 minutes early to settle in
- Firing and glazing takes 4 weeks – we’ll let you know when your piece is ready
- Tickets are transferable, but non-refundable within 36 hours
- If you fall in love with wheel-throwing (warning: you might), we’ve got full courses and studio classes waiting for you!

Textures of Nature: The Big Wave
Paint & Sip – PIE Guided Painting Event

Up to 20% discount for Members
Crash. Curl. Colour. A wave comes alive on canvas.
In this semi-guided textured session, you’ll ride the swell — a giant wave rising from the sea, ready to tumble and curl. Using modelling paste and paint, you’ll build layers of frothy foam, dynamic water movement, and the energy of the ocean captured in bold, sculpted strokes. Think drama, texture, and a playful sense of motion in every crest and curl.
No experience needed — just a love for texture, colour, and a bit of creative adventure. You’ll leave with a tactile, vibrant seascape that’s bursting with energy, movement, and watery wonder.
✨ How PIE semi-guided events work
Ready for a painting session that gives you just the right mix of direction and freedom?
At our semi-guided events, 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.

FAQ - Your questions, our answers
It's perfect for reducing stress, getting creative and simply letting go.
An expressive painting technique in which colour is freely sprayed, flung or dripped onto the canvas - it is about spontaneous creativity rather than perfectionism.
Nothing at all - you can get everything you need from us: paints, canvases and protective clothing included.
We use high-quality acrylic paints - they are bright, versatile and dry quickly.
Dripping is an action painting technique in which paint drips or flows directly from a brush, stick or other source onto the canvas. Jackson Pollock made this method world famous. Dripping creates dynamic, organic patterns and gives you the freedom to just paint away.
Jackson Pollock introduced this style to the art world, and Harold Rosenberg coined the term "Action Painting" in 1952.
Of course! Your work of art is yours and you can take it home with you.
