It’s like acrylic pouring… but make it ceramic.
Get ready to pour, swirl, and create pure magic in this vibrant, hands-on marbling session! We’re diving headfirst into the wild, wonderful world of colour play — where glazes flow, patterns surprise, and no two pieces ever turn out the same.
You’ll learn how to turn liquid glaze into swirling masterpieces, using bold combos, dreamy blends, and just the right amount of messy fun. With our friendly crew to guide you, you’ll explore marbling techniques that are easy to learn, crazy satisfying, and seriously addictive.

Shape it. Press it. Pattern it. Fall in love with the feel of clay.
In this tactile ceramics workshop, it’s all about the surface — how it feels, how it catches the light, how it tells a story. You’ll hand-build a functional or decorative ceramic piece (think bowl, plate, or something sculptural), and explore how to make its surface uniquely yours through texture and pattern.
Under the step-by-step guidance of our instructor, you’ll learn how to form your base shape and then experiment with different techniques: imprinting, carving, stamping, layering — and of course, a bit of freestyle play.
There’ll be inspiration all around, and plenty of space to explore your own style.
🎨 Want to add colour later? You’ll receive a discount to join one of our painting sessions and glaze your own handmade object.
🔥 After the workshop, we’ll glaze and fire your piece. It’ll be ready for pickup in approx. 4 weeks — textured, finished, and totally one of a kind.
Whether you’re new to clay or already hooked, this is a perfect workshop to get your hands moving and your creativity flowing — one surface at a time.

Whether you’re just starting your journey with clay or already have some experience and want to explore a new technique, this is the perfect chance to get your hands dirty, learn something new — and follow your creativity wherever it leads.
Each workshop focuses on a specific process or form, guided by a professional ceramic artist. You’ll learn the core technique step by step, then have space to experiment, personalise, and take your piece in whatever direction feels right to you. It’s structured, supportive, and creatively wide open.
Workshops take place in our cosy, fully-equipped studios in Zürich and Basel, where everything’s set up to support your creative flow — including materials, tools, good lighting, and good vibes.
No pressure, no perfection — just the joy of discovering what you can create with your own two hands.
