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.
✨ 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.

Why take a ceramics course at Paint It Easy?
Moulding and painting ceramics is like meditating with your hands - relaxing, creative and totally liberating. In our ceramics courses, you can model clay, create your own shapes, work on the wheel and then paint your work. And all this in a fun and friendly atmosphere. Whether it's free modelling, slab technique, turntable or other hand-building techniques - here you will learn everything you need for your ideas.
The ceramics courses are perfect for beginners and advanced students alike. We show you the basics - from the first roll of clay to the final glaze.
Nothing at all. We have everything you need: clay, tools, glazes, colours, brushes and aprons. All you need is a pinch of curiosity and a desire to get creative.
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.

FAQs - Everything you need to know about our ceramics courses
Prices depend on the course format and duration. The best thing to do is to take a look at our ceramics course programme - there you will find all current offers and prices.
No - with the right instructions, anyone can learn to make pottery. All you need is a little patience ... and some clay under your fingernails. Our ceramics courses make it easy to get started!
In short: better not - the wrong clay or glaze can really pop during firing 💥. But: If you want to use your own materials, talk to our ceramics team. We'll see together whether and how it's possible.
For beginners, hand-building is perfect - it gives you a good feel for the clay. If you fancy a little challenge, you can also try your hand at the potter's wheel. We'll show you both in our ceramics courses - at your own pace.
After just one ceramics event or workshop, you'll be holding your first self-made piece in your hands. If you want to go deeper and develop your skills, we recommend our ceramics courses - the more you come, the better you'll get!
