PIE Event
One-time creative fun â no pressure, just pleasure.
What we will be doing
đA hands-on ceramics event for form, function, and glow.
A lump of clay. A little colour. A lot of light.
At this three-hour creative session, youâll shape, sculpt, and decorate your own ceramic lamp baseâno experience needed, just a willingness to get a little messy and make something beautifully yours.
This isnât a classâitâs an invitation to play.
Weâll guide you through simple hand-building techniques (pinching, coiling, forming), then youâll bring your piece to life with engobesârich, coloured clays that add texture, depth, and serious personality.
Youâll leave with:
- A one-of-a-kind lamp base, ready to fire and glow
- Clay-covered hands and a full creative cup
- The joy of making something from nothing (plus a great story for your dinner guests)
Come for the clay. Stay for the vibe. Leave with a lamp.
âš How PIE Ceramics Events Work
Treat yourself to a hands-on creative moment â 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, youâll enjoy a feel-good atmosphere, great company, and your very own ceramic creation to take home (well⊠after itâs been fired đ).
Each event is led by one of our friendly ceramic artists, whoâll guide you step-by-step through shaping and decorating your piece. No pressure, no perfection â 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 ZĂŒrich and Basel â fully equipped, full of charm, and designed to spark your imagination. Every now and then, we also pop up in partner venues like bars, cafĂ©s, or sunny outdoor locations.
