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.

Sunset? Set Sail.
Somewhere between day and night, color and calm, there’s a moment where everything just glows. That’s what we’re capturing in this impressionist-inspired painting session — a sailboat drifting into golden hour, two figures silhouetted against a sky that forgot how to be subtle.
You’ll play with texture, light, and a little artistic license as you layer bold brushstrokes and dreamy hues. No experience needed — just bring your love of sunsets, sea breezes, and maybe someone to share the view.
This isn’t your average “paint and sip.” This is sail into the sunset… with a brush in your hand.

Where Bloom Meets Bling
Inspired by the golden age of elegance, culture and oh-là-là, this painting session brings a modern twist to turn-of-the-century beauty. Think bold abstract blooms in rich blues, set against a shimmering gold background that would make Klimt proud (but with way more fun and fewer corsets).
It’s floral, but not fluffy. Glam, but not stiff. You’ll layer textures, play with metallics, and walk away with a canvas that feels like it belongs in a Parisian salon — or your living room.
Beret optional. Sparkle guaranteed.

If you’re in the mood for something more, smoothies, juices, and other drinks are available à la carte from our Creative Café.
At PIE, we believe creativity pairs best with good food, good drinks, and great company.

Brushes out, vibes on — we’re heading to Monet’s garden.
In this vibrant acrylic session, we’ll dive headfirst into the iconic world of Claude Monet’s graden in Giverny — minus the stuffy museum voice. Think soft green shades, bold colour, dreamy reflections and the kind of loose, expressive brushwork that lets you paint what you feel, not just what you see.
You’ll learn how to blend, dab, layer, and play with light — all while creating your own version of this impressionist masterpiece. Classic or totally reimagined? Your pond, your rules.
Perfect for beginners, flower fans, and anyone who’s ever wanted to say, “Oh that? I painted it. It’s my Monet.”

Up to 20% discount for Members
A calm, layered painting session full of texture, tone, and tropical ease.
This isn’t wild — it’s quietly lush.
In this elegant painting session, you’ll explore the softness of silk-like tropical leaves: overlapping shapes, subtle greens, and textures you can almost feel. Against a white or misty grey background, the leaves take centre stage — layered, delicate, and just a little bit sculptural.
We’ll work with close tones and tonal contrast to build depth and movement — no harsh lines, just slow brushwork and the meditative rhythm of shadow and shape.
It’s the kind of painting that makes you breathe slower. Calm greens, quiet elegance, and a canvas that says more the longer you look at it.
No experience needed — just a love of nature, neutrals, and detail that speaks softly.

A wild abstract painting session full of colour, chaos, and satisfying texture.
Who needs brushes when you’ve got a spatula, a mountain of modelling paste, and a whole mood to express?
In this bold, all-in painting session, you’ll layer, swipe, and sculpt your way into pure colour play — no plan, no pressure, just bold marks and thick textures that practically stand off the canvas.
We’ll work point by point, swipe by swipe, building up vibrant patterns and punchy colour fields that shift as you move. It’s a little pointillist, a little sculptural, and totally freeing.
Expect music, mess, and moments of accidental brilliance. This one’s for anyone who’s ever wanted to stop thinking and just create.
More colour. More texture. More joy.
Bring the energy — we’ve got the paste.

Golden Tears (in the style of Gustav Klimt)
Paint & Sip – PIE Guided Painting Event
- PIE Event
- Beginner
- PIE Zürich
- 2.5 hours
Up to 20% discount for Members
A quiet face. A bold feeling. And tears worth their weight in gold.
Inspired by the evocative work Freya’s Tears — often mistaken for Klimt, but actually painted by Anne Marie Zilberman — this piece focuses on a close-up of a woman’s face, both strong and soft, quiet and glowing.
In this painting session, you’ll bring your own interpretation to this elegant, emotional portrait, where sorrow and beauty sit side by side. With expressive brushwork, gilded accents, and subtle texture, you’ll explore the idea that tears — whether of grief or joy — are a kind of golden truth.
It’s powerful. It’s gentle. And it’s always a favourite.
