The ideas sparkle here: Children's painting and artistic development for kids
Children love to express themselves through art - with brushes, colour and lots of imagination. In our afternoon courses, young artists are not only given the right materials, but also the space to develop freely. Our mission: to boost self-confidence, encourage creativity and create an inspiring place where art comes to life.

Saturday morning art fun for kids (and cool parents too)
No need to change out of your jammies — just roll in, grab a brush, and get painting!
This fun-filled Saturday class is made for kids aged 6–12 and packed with creative projects, giggles, and good vibes. Parents are welcome to join and paint side-by-side with their little artists (yes, matching masterpieces are totally a thing).
Here’s how it flows:
🕥 10:20–10:30 → Arrival / Drop-off
🎨 10:30–12:00 → Guided art project time
📸 12:00–12:15 → Pick-up + silly family photos (encouraged!)
Each participant paints on 30 x 40 cm canvas. The theme changes every week, but one thing’s for sure: it’ll be a crowd-pleaser — colourful, fun, and totally kid-approved.
PJs optional. Creativity? Always.

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
🎨 10:30–12:00 → Clay sculpting session
📸 12:00–12:15 → Pick-up
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 are included.
PJs optional. Clay under your fingernails? Guaranteed.
Some of our workshops may be held in English depending on the instructor 😊 We really appreciate your openness and flexibility!

Kids’ Holiday Camp Oct 5–9 – Week Passes
Make School Breaks Creative – with PIE!
- Multi-day Course

- 1 Week
Up to 20% discount for Members
Holiday activities for children - creative experiences with a varied programme
Welcome to our Kids Camp, where creativity and adventure go hand in hand! Throughout the week, we’ll paint, work with clay, and dive into all sorts of crafty projects. We’ll also explore museums, play games both indoors and outdoors, watch an artsy movie together, and start every morning with a little yoga and dance to wake up our bodies and imaginations. It’s the perfect mix of movement, creativity, and big smiles.
Your camp fee includes all art materials, entry to external activities, and all daily meals (znüni, lunch, and zvieri). The only extra cost not included is transportation for excursions, such as tram tickets.
Schedule & Location of Our Holiday Camp
Our holiday camps run on weekdays over a two-week period, with daily supervision from 8:45 am to 5:15 pm. Each group is kept cosy and creative with a minimum of 8 and a maximum of 16 children.
Daily Schedule*
08:45 – 09:00 Drop-off time
09:00 – 10:15 Yoga, dance & active warm-ups
10:15 – 10:30 Znüni (morning snack)
10:30 – 12:00 Morning art project
12:00 – 12:45 Lunch
12:45 – 15:15 Excursions (indoor or outdoor adventures)
15:30 – 17:00 Afternoon art project
17:00 – 17:15 Pick-up
*Outdoor activities and excursions may be adjusted depending on the weather — creativity never stops, but sometimes umbrellas join the fun.
Language
While most of our instructors speak German, the official camp language is English.
Location
Our camp takes place across two nearby studios: Bederstrasse 94 and Schulhausstrasse 52. Morning drop-offs take place at Bederstrasse 94, while afternoon pick-ups happen at Schulhausstrasse 52. The two locations are only a 3-minute walk apart.
!!! Important Information for Parents (Please Read Before Signing Up) !!!
Age Requirements
Our camp is designed for children aged 6 and above. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate younger children, even if an older sibling is participating. The majority of our campers are between 8 and 9 years old, and the program, activities, and overall pace of the day are tailored specifically to this age group.
Younger children often find it challenging to keep up comfortably, and we want every participant to feel confident, included, and safe. Thank you very much for your understanding.
Drop-off & Pick-up Times
To keep our camp running smoothly, we kindly ask all parents to respect the official drop-off and pick-up times.
Drop-off begins at 8:45 am, and we may not be able to accommodate early arrivals, as our team is preparing the space and activities for the day.
Similarly, we ask that all children are picked up no later than 5:15 pm. If a child is picked up late, an additional supervision fee may apply to cover the staff’s extended time.
Thank you so much for your understanding and cooperation — it helps us create the best possible environment for all campers!
Food
Although we provide food throughout the day, we kindly ask that your child arrives having had a proper breakfast. Our morning snack consists of a smoothie and a cookie, which may not be enough to keep children energized until lunch if they start the day hungry.
Behaviour Expectations
To ensure a safe and enjoyable environment for all children, we kindly ask parents to understand that repeatedly disruptive behaviour cannot be accommodated.
If a child’s behaviour consistently interrupts the group or prevents activities from running safely, we may need to contact parents for an early pick-up.
Please note that refunds are not possible in such cases.
Children Requiring Additional Support
We want every child to have a positive and safe experience at camp. However, our current team structure does not allow us to provide the level of individual support required for children with certain disabilities or special needs. We have two instructors supervising the group, and they unfortunately do not have the training, resources, or capacity to offer the specialized care, attention, or support that some children may require.
For this reason, we may not be able to accommodate children who need dedicated or specialized support.
We truly appreciate your understanding, and we make this decision solely to ensure the wellbeing and safety of all children in our care.

FAQs - Your questions about children's painting in Switzerland
Just curiosity and a desire to be creative! We provide all materials, tools and aprons. If your child likes to work with certain pens or brushes, they can of course bring them with them.
No! Our courses are open to everyone - from creative beginners to young professionals. We adapt the content and pace to your child's individual ability.
By all means! Just drop us a line - we'll be happy to arrange an appointment for a first, no-obligation taster session.
Very easy: directly via our website or by sending a message to our team. We are happy to help.
Our courses are divided into different age groups, usually from the age of 5 or 6. Take a look at our programme - you'll find the right course for every age.
As a rule, no - the children are creatively immersed in the activities and are supervised by our team. A short familiarisation period with parents is of course possible for the very youngest children.
All works can be taken home after the course - or, in the case of ceramic projects, collected after firing. We will inform you as soon as they are finished!
