Wheel-throwing Taster

Wheel-Throwing Taster Workshop

  • Workshop
  • Beginner
  • PIE Ceramics Zürich
  • 2.5 Hours
from 120.– CHF

Up to 20% discount for Members

🎡 Just curious? Even better.

This is your chance to dip a toe (or both hands!) into the wild, whirling world of the pottery wheel — no pressure, no experience needed. In this wheel-throwing taster workshop, you’ll learn how to center, pull, and shape clay like a true ceramic boss. It’s messy, magical, and way more satisfying than your average Saturday scroll session.

You’ll get hands-on with the basics of wheel-throwing — and walk away with at least one piece to call your own. Plus, you’ll leave knowing whether this hobby is a fling or the beginning of a full-blown love affair.

No experience necessary. Just bring your curiosity — we’ll handle the spin cycle.

No experience? No problem. You’ll leave with a piece that’s 100% yours – shaped by your hands and full of personality.

Each event is led by one of our friendly ceramic artists, who’ll guide you step-by-step through shaping and decorating your piece. No pressure, no perfection — just good vibes, creative flow, and the joy of getting your hands dirty in the best possible way.

Whether you’re going bold and bright or soft and simple, we’ll show you the way and cheer you on while you do it.

No experience? No problem.
We’ll guide you through each step — from rolling and shaping to painting your piece with vibrant underglaze coloursright on the spot.

Surface Art: Sgraffito

Unveiling Hidden Depths: a PIE Ceramic Workshop

  • Workshop
  • Beginner
  • PIE Ceramics Zürich
  • 2.5 hours
from 95.– CHF

Up to 20% discount for Members

Scratch beneath the surface — and reveal something beautiful.

Sgraffito — from the Italian “to scratch” — is a decorative ceramics technique that’s all about revealing contrast, pattern, and surprise. In this inspiring 3-hour workshop, you’ll learn how to turn a simple slab of clay into a stunning ceramic plate using this ancient and captivating method.

We’ll start by rolling and shaping your plate by hand, then applying a layer of coloured slip (liquid clay). Once that’s set, the real magic begins — you’ll carve into the surface to create your own design, revealing the clay underneath in bold lines, fine textures, or whatever shapes your imagination leads you to. No drawing skills needed — just a sense of curiosity and a love of detail.

You’ll be guided every step of the way in a relaxed and welcoming studio atmosphere. From the first press of clay to the final scratch of your carving tool, you’ll explore the sgraffito process with hands-on support, plenty of encouragement, and a glass of something refreshing in hand — your choice of wine, tea, prosecco, or something non-alcoholic to sip as you shape.

After the session, we’ll take care of glazing and firing your piece. Your finished sgraffito plate will be ready for pickup in about 4 weeks. One plate is included in the price — if you’re inspired to make more, you can simply pay for extra materials on the spot.

This workshop is perfect for anyone looking to 
slow down, scratch beneath the surface, and uncover something beautifully their own.

Some of our workshops may be held in English depending on the instructor 😊 We really appreciate your openness and flexibility!


✨ How PIE Ceramics Workshops Work

Our ceramics workshops are one-off sessions designed for intensive skill-sharing in a relaxed, creative atmosphere. 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.

Hand-built Creations: A PIE Ceramics Workshop

  • PIE Ceramics Zürich
  • 2.5 hours
from 105.– CHF

Up to 20% discount for Members

Vessels with handmade character

Looking to level up your clay game? This hands-on ceramics workshop is all about learning the ancient (and oddly satisfying) coiling technique — and using it to build your very own vessel or vase with serious personality.

With step-by-step guidance from our instructor, you’ll shape your piece coil by coil, curve by curve — building form, balance, and your own artistic flair as you go. Whether you lean classic or a little wild, there’s plenty of room to experiment with size, silhouette, and style.

Expect useful demos, creative detours, and a relaxed studio vibe that encourages questions, happy accidents, and the occasional “what if I try this?” moment.

In this class, you will create a vase or vessel approximately 20–25 cm tall. This size is achievable for beginners within the available time using the coiling technique.

Once your piece is complete, we’ll glaze and fire it for you. Ready for pickup in around 4 weeks.

🎨 Want to give it colour too? You’ll get a discount to return for a painting session and decorate your ceramic creation with your own splash of magic.

This one’s for anyone who wants to slow down, shape something special, and make a piece that’s equal parts functional and fabulous.

Yes, definitely! If you already have experience, our Studio Classes or the Open Atelier are just right for you. Become a member, use the space for your projects - or get in touch with us directly so that we can find the right programme for you.

Can I glaze my works myself?

Yes, of course! You have the option of glazing your pieces in the Creative Café during opening hours - or you can register for a glazing workshop or a suitable course from our calendar.

When can I collect my finished ceramics?

After moulding or painting, your piece is glazed and fired once or twice, depending on the technique. It is usually ready for collection after 2-4 weeks - we will contact you as soon as it is ready!

Can I bring my own clay or glazes?

In short: better not - the stuff can explode in the oven! 🔥💥 But: If you have any special ideas or materials, please talk to our ceramics team. We'll see what's possible together!

Action Painting

Guided Expressive Abstract Art Workshop

  • Workshop
  • Beginner
  • ZÜRICH · PIE Action Painting Park
  • 2.5 hours
from 60.– CHF

Up to 20% discount for Members

Splash. Drip. Splatter. Total Freedom.
Looking for a creative experience that’s energetic, expressive and completely different from traditional painting?

Our Action Painting Workshop combines the excitement of throwing, dripping and splashing paint with the artistic principles behind creating a powerful abstract artwork.

After a short introduction, your instructor will guide the group through a series of Action Painting techniques while explaining how abstract paintings are built through composition, layering, colour relationships and texture. Rather than recreating a predefined motif, you’ll gradually develop your own artwork over approximately two hours, allowing every splash, brushstroke and creative decision to influence what comes next.

Action Painting is an intuitive journey. Every mark on the canvas becomes the starting point for the next, creating a continuous process of acting, observing and reacting. Along the way, you’ll experiment with a wide variety of paints, tools and creative techniques while your instructor shares demonstrations, artistic guidance and individual feedback whenever you need it.

No two paintings will ever look alike. While everyone explores the same techniques together, each participant follows their own creative path, discovering their own balance between spontaneity and intention.

Whether you’re looking to switch off after a busy week, reconnect with your creativity or simply experience painting in a completely different way, Action Painting offers the freedom to experiment while giving you the artistic guidance to turn expressive marks into a finished abstract composition.

You’ll leave not only with a unique artwork, but with a deeper understanding of how abstract paintings evolve—and the confidence to trust your own creative instincts.

Bold, textured, and glowing with autumn fire.
Against a deep, moody blue background rises a majestic tree — bursting with vibrant oranges, golden yellows, and those last glowing leaves that feel like they’re holding onto summer just a little longer. 

In this painting session, we’re putting the brushes aside (well, mostly) and diving into palette knife magic. You’ll learn how to sculpt your tree with thick, expressive layers of paint — building real, tangible texture that gives your artwork a beautiful three-dimensional feel. Think less flat painting, more “I kind of want to touch it.”

We’ll explore how to mix a range of warm autumn hues — from fiery orange to soft golden tones — and how to set them against that deep blue for maximum contrast and glow. It’s all about letting colours play, collide, and shine.

Billowing light, drifting blue, and clouds that feel almost touchable.
Step into a sky that seems to breathe — soft, rolling blues rising into thick, sculpted clouds that glow with quiet energy. This piece invites you into an atmosphere of movement and softness, where every brushstroke feels like a shift in the wind.

Along the way, you’ll also learn hands-on techniques that bring the scene to life: how to confidently handle a palette knife for expressive, textured strokes, how to mix and balance blues to create depth and atmosphere, and how to work with modeling paste to sculpt soft, dimensional clouds that lift off the surface of the canvas. You’ll explore how layering, texture, and colour harmony work together to create a sky that feels both dynamic and calm at the same time.

Together we’ll explore proportions, gesture, balance, light and structure, learning how simple shapes gradually evolve into convincing human figures.

Throughout the course, you’ll experiment with graphite, charcoal and other traditional drawing materials while practising gesture drawing, anatomical studies and longer observational drawings. Every class combines demonstrations, practical exercises and plenty of individual drawing time with personal guidance from your instructor.

The course culminates in a live model session, giving you the opportunity to apply everything you’ve learned while experiencing one of the most traditional and rewarding disciplines in classical art.

✏️ What to Expect

  • A structured four-week introduction to figure drawing
  • Weekly guidance from a professional instructor

🤔 Is This Course Right for Me?


Whether you’re interested in classical drawing, illustration, character design or simply want to improve your observational skills, figure drawing is one of the strongest foundations an artist can build.

Basic drawing experience is recommended, but not required. If you’ve already completed our Introduction to Drawing Course, you’ll find it even easier to focus on anatomy, movement and proportion while further developing your observational skills.

Down to Earth: First Steps in Ceramics

Handbuilding Beginner Course · 4 Weekly Classes

  • Multi-day Course
  • Beginner
  • BASEL · PIE Ceramics Studio
  • 4 × 2.5 hours
from 370.– CHF

Up to 20% discount for Members

A lump of clay. Two hands. Surprisingly many possibilities.

Handbuilding is where some of ceramics’ oldest techniques meet almost unlimited creative freedom. Using pinching, slabs and coils, you can turn clay into everything from cups and plates to vases and sculptural forms.

Throughout the course, you’ll explore the three fundamental handbuilding techniques: pinching, slab building and coiling. Each opens up a different way of working with clay and gives you new possibilities for creating both functional and decorative pieces.

Through a series of guided projects, you’ll gradually build your ceramic toolbox: learning how to construct, join and shape clay, play with textures and surface decoration, and finally glaze your creations.

It’s tactile, playful and wonderfully versatile – with plenty of room to experiment and develop pieces that feel completely your own.

✏️ What to Expect
You’ll explore the fundamental handbuilding techniques through a series of projects:

Pinching – shape your first cup or mug using one of the most intuitive ways of working with clay.

Slab Building – learn to work with rolled clay slabs and transform them into plates and other constructed forms.

Coiling – build upwards with coils of clay to create a vase or taller vessel.

Glazing & Finishing – explore colour and surface to give your handmade pieces their final character.

Throughout the course, you’ll receive demonstrations, individual guidance and plenty of freedom to interpret each project in your own way.

🧠 What You’ll Learn

  • The fundamentals of pinch pottery
  • How to construct forms using clay slabs
  • How to build larger and taller pieces using coils
  • How to join clay securely and create stable forms
  • How to control shape, thickness and structure
  • Surface decoration using textures, patterns and carving
  • The basics of glazing and finishing
  • How to combine these techniques when developing your own projects

🤔 Is This the Right Course for Me?
This course is a great fit if you enjoy making things with your hands, experimenting with form and texture, and having creative freedom within a guided learning process.

You’ll probably appreciate it most if you’re curious about how objects are constructed and enjoy the process of slowly building something from scratch. Handbuilding allows for precision, but it also celebrates irregularity, character and personal expression – your pieces don’t all need to look identical or perfectly symmetrical.

If you’re mainly interested in learning the technical skill of throwing symmetrical vessels on the pottery wheel, our Wheel Throwing Beginner Course is probably the better choice.

But if you want to build a broad foundation in ceramics, discover several versatile techniques and eventually combine them freely in your own projects, this is a fantastic place to start.
