What we will be doing

The river kingfisher, also known as the "river guardian," holds a special place in mythology and folklore. According to ancient tales, this powerful bird is said to have the ability to control the flow and direction of rivers. It is revered as a protector of the waterways and is believed to bring prosperity and abundance to those who honor it.

In many cultures, the river kingfisher is seen as a symbol of strength and resilience. Its long, slender body and shimmering scales are said to represent the powerful forces of nature, while its piercing gaze and sharp beak are thought to represent the bird's fierce protection of its territory.

As we paint our own river kingfisher, we can draw inspiration from these myths and legends, as well as from ZhuZhu depiction of this stunning bird. We can use bold, sweeping brushstrokes to capture the power and majesty of this majestic creature, or we can use softer, more subtle strokes to convey its grace and elegance.

You’ll work with rich earthy tones, layered brushstrokes, and flowing lines — all on a plate that’s made to last. It’s expressive, bold, and just a little hypnotic.

No canvas. No pressure. Just you, a brush, and a story fired into clay.


✨ How PIE Events Work

You’ll be welcomed into our cozy, colourful studio, where creativity flows as easily as the drinks. Settle in, sip something tasty, and enjoy step-by-step guidance from our lovely instructors.

And here’s the twist: we’re painting it on ceramics.

In this special ceramic painting event, we’re turning everyday plates into mini-masterpieces. Sure, you can hand-paint a plate any time in our Creative Café – but this time, you’ll create something truly next level. With guidance, techniques, and a touch of wild inspiration, your piece will go from “cute” to captivating.

Fired, glazed, and designed to last – whether it hangs on your wall or holds your favourite slice of cake.

It’s painting, but with an edge. A little cooler. A little glossier. A whole lot more permanent.

No prior experience? No problem! We provide everything:

  • A chill, friendly atmosphere
  • All the necessary art supplies
  • Pre-prepared templates
  • Step-by-step guidance from our instructors

🥂 Artsy Sips & Bites

Every event includes a complimentary welcome drink to get your creativity flowing. You can choose from:

  • A soft drink or hot drink
