Pouring Acrylics (Tree Ring, Flip Cup)
- Workshop
- Beginner
- PIE Classroom Zürich
- 3 Hours
Up to 20% discount for Members
A workshop where the chaos is the point
Get ready to tilt, swirl, flip, and pour! In this hands-on 3-hour workshop, you’ll learn two of the most satisfying acrylic pouring techniques: Tree Ring and Flip Cup.
We’ll liquefy the paint, then let gravity, colour, and a bit of messy magic do the rest. With every tilt of the canvas, new patterns emerge — swirls, cells, waves, and very cool accidents.
You’ll create 3 unique artworks on 30 × 30 cm canvases, and yes:
It’ll look like you totally meant to do that.
Perfect for beginners, mess-lovers, abstract enthusiasts, and anyone who secretly wants to fling paint around without judgement.
✨ How the Workshop Works
Think of a Paint It Easy event — but with more time, more technique, and more creative depth. Our workshops are all about learning something new and meaningful while still enjoying the relaxed, feel-good PIE vibe.
Each workshop is guided by a professional artist and focuses on a specific creative technique, style, or material. Whether you’re trying it for the first time or want to deepen existing skills, you’ll get personal guidance, hands-on support, and time to really explore the process.
Most workshops take place in our beautiful, cosy studios in Zürich or Basel — full of colour, creativity, and a welcoming atmosphere. From time to time, we also host them at inspiring partner venues or outdoors in the sunny season.
No stress, no pressure — just a great setting to experiment, learn something new, and create something truly yours.
We provide everything you need:
- A warm and friendly learning environment
- All necessary materials and tools
- A mix of demonstration & individual guidance
- Artistic freedom — everyone interprets the technique their own way
Whether you’re a motivated beginner or a curious creative, this is the space to dive deeper, discover new methods, and leave with a skill that sticks.

Uncover hidden layers of time.
In this abstract painting session, we’ll explore surfaces that feel ancient and alive. Using textured strokes, scratches, and washes of soft peach and glowing gold, you’ll build your own modern “palimpsest.” Think walls that whisper stories, light catching on roughness, colours both faded and luminous.
No experience needed — just curiosity for texture and a love of mystery. You’ll leave with a piece that feels timeless, tactile, and uniquely yours.
✨ How the Event Works
Treat yourself to a creative experience, where you can unwind, sip & snack, and have fun with your friends — or make new ones — as you paint and craft your way through a feel-good session led by our lovely local artists.
Most of our events take place in our beautiful, cozy studios — full of color, good vibes, and a warm, artistic atmosphere. Occasionally, we also pop up in local bars, restaurants, or outdoor locations during the sunny season.

- A chill, friendly atmosphere
- All the necessary art supplies
- Pre-prepared templates
