What we will be doing
Flow. Fade. Glow. A path into light.
In this watercolour painting session on paper, we’re following the Stairway to Heaven. Picture a glowing staircase descending towards a shimmering lake, painted in sunlit ochre and layered blues. Through various techniques like wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry, you’ll capture that dreamy moment where landscape turns almost lyrical.
No experience needed — just curiosity for colour, water, and the way light plays on paper. You’ll leave with a painting that feels airy, radiant, and full of summer vibes.
✨ How PIE Kafi & Gipfeli Watercolor Painting Workshops Run
What could be better than starting your Sunday morning with a coffee and a gipfeli while getting creative? You arrive, take a breath, grab your kafi & gipfeli, and settle into your spot at the table where the magic happens. We start on time, so make sure you’re there and ready to dive in.
Next, your instructor takes the stage, giving you a quick, easy intro to the materials — nothing overwhelming, just getting you comfortable and ready to play.
Then the fun really begins. You’ll be guided step by step through the painting process, with plenty of room to play, experiment, and make it your own. Sip your drink, enjoy the moment, and let the creativity flow.
At the end, we bring everyone together for a group photo — your finished piece, great vibes.
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
All you need to bring is your good vibes and curiosity! We’ll take care of the rest — starting with a complimentary welcome drink 🥂 to spark your creativity.

💞 Painting in Pairs? Yess, please!
Couples, besties, or family duos — this one’s for you:
You can choose to paint in pairs, where two canvases become one artwork. The theme is split in two, and each of you paints one half that aligns perfectly with the other.
If your`re interested in painting in pairs, just ask our artists on the spot whether your chosen theme is a good fit — they’ll guide you and set you up!
