Pouring Acrylics (Tree Ring, Flip Cup)

  • Workshop
  • Beginner
  • PIE Classroom Zürich
  • 3 Hours
from 110.– CHF

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.


🥂 A Toast to Creativity*
We kick off every workshop with a complimentary welcome drink — the perfect way to settle in, connect with fellow creatives, and get inspired. Choose from:
• A soft drink or hot drink

A wild abstract painting session full of colour, chaos, and satisfying texture.
Who needs brushes when you’ve got a spatula, a mountain of modelling paste, and a whole mood to express?

In this bold, all-in painting session, you’ll layer, swipe, and sculpt your way into pure colour play — no plan, no pressure, just bold marks and thick textures that practically stand off the canvas.

We’ll work point by point, swipe by swipe, building up vibrant patterns and punchy colour fields that shift as you move. It’s a little pointillist, a little sculptural, and totally freeing.

Expect music, mess, and moments of accidental brilliance. This one’s for anyone who’s ever wanted to stop thinking and just create.

More colour. More texture. More joy.
Bring the energy — we’ve got the paste.

This four-week course is all about understanding the structure, movement, and rhythm of the human body — and giving you the tools, techniques, and confidence to capture it with ease.

You’ll explore proportion, gesture, anatomy, balance, and expression through a series of dynamic drawing sessions. Using pencil, charcoal, and pastel, you’ll learn to build figures from simple shapes into full, flowing compositions that tell a story.

Each class includes a short demo and guided exercises. We’ll start with quick gesture sketches and anatomy studies from reference photos — and in the final week, you’ll draw from a live model right in the Studio.

✏️ What to Expect

  • A deep dive into figure drawing fundamentals over 4 evening sessions
  • Work with pencil, charcoal, pastel, and sanguine
  • Learn gesture, anatomy, proportion, and movement
  • Weekly drawing exercises from photo and observation
  • A full live model session in the final class
  • Support, feedback, and gentle critique throughout


    🎒 What’s Included
  • All drawing materials (paper, boards, tools, etc.)
  • Studio use & safe artwork storage between sessions
  • Live model posing in Week 4
  • Individual guidance and instructor feedback

    Just bring your curiosity and a positive attitude — we’ll take care of the rest!

💡 What You’ll Learn

  • Figure construction: body proportions, anatomy, and balance
  • Gesture drawing and capturing movement
  • Light, shadow, and form to create depth
  • Expressive linework and dynamic composition
  • How to bring energy and character into your figures

🥂 First Class Vibes: Sips & Hellos
We like to kick things off on a warm and social note. During the first class, we’ll take a little extra time to get to know each other — and we’ll toast to the beginning of your creative journey with a welcome drink.

📦 A Few More Things to Know

  • Arrival: Please come 15 minutes early to settle in and connect with your classmates.
  • Storage: We’ll safely store your creations between classes and package them nicely at the end of the course.
  • Keep practicing: Learning doesn’t stop when class ends. We recommend joining our studio sessions to continue growing in a supportive, creative community.

🎁 What’s Included

  • 2 hours

Up to 20% discount for Members

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.

Butter Me up!

Shape & Fun: PIE Ceramics Event

  • PIE Event
  • Beginner
  • PIE Zürich
  • 2.5 hours
from 85.– CHF

Up to 20% discount for Members

🧈 Butter Me Up – spread a little joy

Let’s be honest: here in Switzerland, butter isn’t just food, it’s a way of life. From crusty Sunday Zopf to everyday sandwiches, that golden block deserves more than the foil it comes in. That’s why a butter dish isn’t just pottery — it’s tradition, it’s table culture, and it’s a little daily ritual of beauty.

In this cosy 2.5-hour workshop, you’ll get hands-on with clay to craft your own hand-built butter dish — practical, beautiful, and uniquely yours.

You’ll shape and decorate your dish just the way you like, so every breakfast feels a touch more special, with Swiss charm built right in.

No experience? No problem.
We’ll guide you through each step — from rolling and shaping to painting your piece with blue underglaze decals right 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.

🏺 What’s Included

  • All tools, materials, and clay
  • Personal guidance from an experienced ceramic instructor
  • One piece included for firing and glazing (extras optional for a small fee)
  • A welcoming and inspiring studio space to explore ceramics at your own pace
  • The option to return and glaze your piece in one of two ways:
    → Join a glazing workshop at a discounted price
    → Or glaze it yourself in our Creative Café for CHF 20 — walk in or reserve a table during opening hours

🔥 Firing & Pickup

We take care of firing and glazing your ceramic piece after the workshop.
Firing takes approx. 4 weeks – we’ll contact you when your piece is ready for pickup.
