My Super Bowl
Shape & Fun: PIE Ceramics Event
- PIE Event
- Beginner
- PIE Zürich
- 2.5 hours
Up to 20% discount for Members
Bigger than the game. Smaller than a salad bar. Totally handmade by you.
In this playful ceramic hand-building event, you’ll create your very own ceramic bowl — for cereal, snacks, soup, or just to admire and say, “Yeah, I made that.”
With step-by-step guidance from our instructor, you’ll learn how to shape, smooth, and form your bowl from scratch. There’ll be demos, tips, and lots of room to personalise — whether you go round and classic or add texture, sculptural flair, or a slightly wobbly rim (we call that charm).
🖐️ No experience? No problem. This event is beginner-friendly, stress-free, and all about discovering the joy of making something real with your hands.
🔥 After the event, we’ll glaze and fire your masterpiece. It’ll be ready for pickup in about 4 weeks — and yes, it’ll be food-safe.
✨ How PIE Ceramics Events Work
Treat yourself to a hands-on creative moment — where you can sip, snack, and sculpt your way through a fun and relaxing ceramics session. Whether you come solo, with friends, or for a team night out, you’ll enjoy a feel-good atmosphere, great company, and your very own ceramic creation to take home (well… after it’s been fired 😉).
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.
Most of our events take place in our beautiful, cosy studios in Zürich and Basel — fully equipped, full of charm, and designed to spark your imagination. Every now and then, we also pop up in partner venues like bars, cafés, or sunny outdoor locations.
