What we will be doing
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 & snacks
🎨 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.

Saturday morning art fun for kids (and cool parents too)
No need to change out of your jammies — just roll in, grab a smoothie, and get painting!
This fun-filled Saturday class is made for kids aged 6–12 and packed with creative projects, giggles, and good vibes. Parents are welcome to join and paint side-by-side with their little artists (yes, matching masterpieces are totally a thing).
Here’s how it flows:
🕥 10:15–10:30 → Drop-off + smoothies & snacks
🎨 10:30–12:00 → Guided art project time
📸 12:00–12:15 → Pick-up + silly family photos (encouraged!)
The theme changes every week, but one thing’s for sure: it’ll be a crowd-pleaser — colourful, fun, and totally kid-approved.
We usually paint on high-quality art paper, but if you’d like to upgrade to canvas (perfect for framing or exhibiting), just let us know on the day.

Beautifully Textured Surfaces
Carved Elegance: a PIE Ceramic Workshop
- PIE Event
- Beginner
- PIE Zürich
- 2.5 hours
Up to 20% discount for Members
Shape it. Press it. Pattern it. Fall in love with the feel of clay.
In this tactile ceramics workshop, it’s all about the surface — how it feels, how it catches the light, how it tells a story. You’ll hand-build a functional or decorative ceramic piece (think bowl, plate, or something sculptural), and explore how to make its surface uniquely yours through texture and pattern.
Under the step-by-step guidance of our instructor, you’ll learn how to form your base shape and then experiment with different techniques: imprinting, carving, stamping, layering — and of course, a bit of freestyle play.
There’ll be inspiration all around, and plenty of space to explore your own style.
🎨 Want to add colour later? You’ll receive a discount to join one of our painting sessions and glaze your own handmade object.
🔥 After the workshop, we’ll glaze and fire your piece. It’ll be ready for pickup in approx. 4 weeks — textured, finished, and totally one of a kind.
Whether you’re new to clay or already hooked, this is a perfect workshop to get your hands moving and your creativity flowing — one surface at a time.
✨ How PIE Ceramics Workshops Work
Our ceramics workshops are one-off sessions designed for intensive skill-sharing in a relaxed, creative atmosphere. Whether you’re just starting your journey with clay or already have some experience and want to explore a new technique, this is the perfect chance to get your hands dirty, learn something new — and follow your creativity wherever it leads.
Each workshop focuses on a specific process or form, guided by a professional ceramic artist. You’ll learn the core technique step by step, then have space to experiment, personalise, and take your piece in whatever direction feels right to you. It’s structured, supportive, and creatively wide open.
Workshops take place in our cosy, fully-equipped studios in Zürich and Basel, where everything’s set up to support your creative flow — including materials, tools, good lighting, and good vibes.
No pressure, no perfection — just the joy of discovering what you can create with your own two hands.

Firing takes approx. 4 weeks – we’ll contact you when your piece is ready for pickup.
