What we will be doing
a.k.a. Abstract Improvisation – let it flow, not fit.
This isn’t about “getting it right.”
This is about letting go, following your instinct, and making something raw, bold, weird, calming, chaotic — or all of the above.
In this intuitive abstract painting workshop, we swap technique for trust, and outcomes for play. No fixed subject, no rules — just a big canvas, a pile of tools, and your curiosity in the driver’s seat. Whether you leave with a masterpiece or a glorious mess, the point is: you showed up, you created, and you felt something.
We’ll set the mood with a specially curated playlist of meditative + emotionally expressive tracks, and you’ll get access to all the good stuff: rollers, brushes, spatulas, a protective suit (yes, really), and a generous 40 × 50 cm canvas to start. Want to go bigger? You can upgrade when booking – or decide on the spot.
Guidance is there if you want it — but your brush, your vibe, your call.
🎨 Canvas info:
✓ 40 × 50 cm included
→ 60 × 80 cm: + CHF 10
→ 80 × 100 cm: + CHF 30
→ 100 × 120 cm: + CHF 60
Extra canvases can also be purchased on-site.
✨ 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 glass of wine, prosecco, or beer
• Or our rotating Cocktail of the Week
Want to treat yourself? Upgrade to one of our signature cocktails, mocktails, smoothies, or special drinks for just CHF 5–9.

Oh yes! Intuitive painting has nothing to do with “being good” — it’s all about feeling, exploring, and letting go.
From acrylics, pipettes, spray bottles and cups to spatulas, sponges and paint guns – we’ve got everything you need to splash, drip, swirl and layer.
And don’t worry: the mess stays fun — we provide protective gear for you and the room.
Absolutely — we’re happy to let your masterpiece chill with us for up to one week. After that, it needs to fly the nest (space is precious!). Just let us know and we’ll keep it safe until pickup.

Van Gogh… but make it glow.
You know the painting. Now turn up the colour, crank the contrast, and let the stars trip out a little.
In this bold remix of Van Gogh’s Starry Night, we’re keeping the iconic swirls — but lighting up the sky with fluorescent pinks, greens, blues, and purples that’ll make your canvas sing (or at least vibe).
This one’s all about colour play, flowy lines, and total freedom.
No experience needed — just bring your wild side and your love for all things starry, swirly, and slightly surreal.
It’s a classic. It’s chaotic. It’s way too fun.

Where Bloom Meets Bling
Inspired by the golden age of elegance, culture and oh-là-là, this painting session brings a modern twist to turn-of-the-century beauty. Think bold abstract blooms in rich blues, set against a shimmering gold background that would make Klimt proud (but with way more fun and fewer corsets).
It’s floral, but not fluffy. Glam, but not stiff. You’ll layer textures, play with metallics, and walk away with a canvas that feels like it belongs in a Parisian salon — or your living room.
Beret optional. Sparkle guaranteed.
