Because store-bought is boring.
A creative ceramics event where timeless gameplay meets handmade design.
Turn a lump of clay into a full set of playable art.
In this relaxed, hands-on session, you’ll sculpt and personalise your own set of ceramic dominoes—each tile crafted by hand, with your own creative twist.
Classic game, modern glow-up.
With step-by-step guidance, you’ll shape, dot, and decorate each piece—whether you go minimalist, maximalist, or totally abstract. Add texture, colour, or subtle flair. No experience needed—just a love of making and maybe a bit of strategy.
You’ll leave with:
- A full domino set, handmade and uniquely yours
- New clay skills (and maybe a new hobby)
- A game-night centerpiece with serious style
Once your set is fired in the kiln, it’s ready to play, gift, or simply admire.
Satisfying to make. Even better to play.

Beautifully Textured Surfaces
Carved Elegance: a PIE Ceramic Workshop
- Workshop
- Beginner
- PIE Zürich
- 2.5 hours
Up to 20% discount for Members
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.
✨ 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.

🌵 Your cactus with Zero chance of killing it.
Join us for a fun and squishy 2,5 hours workshop where you’ll sculpt your own forever plant — a ceramic cactus or succulent that never needs watering (or remembering). Tall, tiny, spiky, weird — whatever your plant vibe is, we’ll help you bring it to life with texture, personality, and plenty of colour.
In this class, you’ll create three different plants in a variety of shapes and styles — from spiky cacti to plump succulents. We’ll have plenty of examples to inspire you, so you can personalise each of your little plant babies just the way you like.
Never touched clay before? Perfect.
We’ll show you the ropes: how to shape, poke, twist, and paint your clay creation until it’s looking gloriously planty.
It’s the perfect bite-sized intro to ceramics: simple, creative, and totally satisfying. You’ll leave with clay under your nails, a personalised plate in the works, and maybe a new favourite hobby too.
🔥 After the event, we glaze and fire your piece for you.
It’ll be ready to pick up in about 4 weeks — food-safe and fabulous.

Spin it. Shape it. Love the wonky bits.
Ever dreamed of making your own cup on the pottery wheel? This is your moment to try – no pressure, no perfection, just you, the clay, and the magic of Wabi-Sabi.

We’ll embrace wobbles, curves, and character, celebrating the Japanese art of Wabi-Sabi – finding beauty in imperfection and joy in the process, not just the result.
No experience? No problem. You’ll leave with a piece that’s 100% yours – shaped by your hands and full of personality.

Saturday morning sculpting for kids (and cool parents too)
Sculpting in PJs? Yes please.
This playful Saturday morning class is made for kids aged 6–12 who want to squish, shape, and sculpt their way through clay. From mini statues to funky mugs, we get hands-on and a little messy — all in the name of creativity.
Parents are welcome to join and co-create with their kids. Whether you’re making masterpieces together or working side-by-side, it’s a weekend win.
Here’s how it flows:
🕥 10:15–10:30 → Drop-off + smoothies
🎨 10:30–12:00 → Clay sculpting session
📸 12:00–12:15 → Pick-up + silly family photos (encouraged!)
We’ll guide your little sculptors every step of the way — no experience needed, just a love for making things with your hands.
Finished pieces will stay with us for drying and firing and can be picked up about 2 weeks later.
All materials and smoothies are included.
PJs optional. Clay under your fingernails? Guaranteed.

Up to 20% discount for Members
Your plate. Your style. Your very first step into the world of ceramics.
In this relaxed 2-hour event, you’ll get your hands into clay and create your own hand-built ceramic plate, tray or dish— complete with texture, colour, and all the personality you want to give it. 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.
It’s the perfect intro to ceramics: a little messy, a lot of fun, and totally satisfying. You’ll walk away with clay on your hands, colour on your plate, and a new skill (or obsession?) in the making.
🔥 After the event, we glaze and fire your piece for you.
It’ll be ready to pick up in about 4 weeks — food-safe and fabulous.
✨ 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.

FAQs - the most important facts about our ceramics studio in Zurich
That depends on what you want to do: You need to book for workshops, courses and studio times so that we can prepare your space and materials. We also recommend booking for the Creative Café - especially at weekends. Spontaneous drop-ins are sometimes possible - it's best to enquire shortly beforehand.
This is the right place for you if you have already gained some experience in pottery.
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.
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.
Our ceramics studio has regular opening hours during which you can make pottery at your leisure. Of course you can also register for courses & co.
After pottery or painting, your piece needs time to dry - then it will be fired within 2-4 weeks. If you are not a member, you can then collect your work within 4 weeks. Unfortunately, we cannot keep it any longer after that.
Depending on the temperature and type of firing, a firing process takes around 24 to 36 hours - including heating, holding and cooling. As we collect several pieces before filling the kiln, it can take up to 2-4 weeks for your work to be fully fired.
