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.
PJs optional. Creativity? Always.

Holiday activities for children - creative experiences with a varied programme
In our creative holiday activities for children - such as holiday painting courses - participants have the opportunity to work on a variety of art and craft projects or take part in themed workshops. Supervision is usually provided by experienced professionals from the artistic or educational field. Depending on the offer, additional activities such as excursions, museum visits, explorations in nature or weather-dependent indoor options such as cinema or group games can also be part of the programme.
Sample schedule of a holiday camp
A holiday camp can, for example, run on weekdays over a period of two weeks - with a daily supervision time of around 8.45 am to 5.15 pm and a group size of between 4 and 16 children.
Typical daily schedule (example structure)
08:45 - 09:00: Arrival time
09:00 - 10:15: Yoga, dance & other active stimuli
10:15 - 10:30: Healthy Snacks

What is included?
Many programmes include materials, workshops, balanced catering and possible entrance fees for external activities. Transport costs are usually not included. Food intolerances should be communicated in advance so that consideration can be given.
Concept of creative programmes
The content of such programmes is varied: from traditional drawing and painting techniques to sculpting with clay or mixed media - children can explore different materials and forms of expression. Additional elements such as yoga or movement sessions promote relaxation, mindfulness and strengthen the sense of community.
Taking home the results
At the end of the programmes, the children often receive a personal collection of their work - in the form of a sketchbook or portfolio, for example - as a reminder of what they have experienced and their own creative progress.

Hand-building Taster
Let’s shape!: A PIE Ceramics Workshop
- PIE Event
- Beginner
- PIE Zürich
- 2.5 hours
Up to 20% discount for Members
Just curious? Perfect.
This is your chance to dip a toe (well, a hand) into the world of clay — no commitment, no pressure. In this ceramic taster workshop, you’ll get a hands-on intro to basic hand-building techniques like pinching, coiling, and slab shaping. It’s a playful and beginner-friendly session designed to give you a feel for the material, the process, and the magic of making something from scratch.
You’ll create a small ceramic piece to keep — and leave with a better idea of whether this hobby is for you, or if you’re ready to dive deeper into a full course.
No prior experience needed. Just bring your curiosity — we’ll take care of the rest.
✏️ What to Expect
- A relaxed, creative session guided by one of our ceramic artists
- Step-by-step intro to pinch, coil, and slab techniques
- Time to decorate and personalise your piece
- A social, friendly space with no pressure to “get it right”
- All tools, materials, and inspiration provided
🎁 What You’ll Take Home
- One finished ceramic piece (we fire and glaze it for you)
- The option to keep more pieces for CHF 15 each
- A fun, hands-on experience — and a solid intro to the world of ceramics
- A better sense of whether a full course or ongoing studio time is your next step
🧠 Who It’s For
- Anyone who’s curious about ceramics but not ready to dive in (yet)
- People looking for a one-time creative experience or weekend adventure
- Future students who want to try before they commit to a full course
- Creative folks who need a screen-free, tactile, joyfully messy couple of hours
🥂 Sip & Shape
You’ll be welcomed with a free drink of your choice — prosecco, wine, beer, tea, coffee or our Cocktail of the Week🍸
Want to upgrade your welcome drink? We serve a curated selection of cocktails, mocktails and smoothies for just CHF 5–9 more.
Need a snack?
Our Creative Café is open during the session with wraps, salad bowls, snacks & sweets.
📦 A Few More Things to Know
- No need to bring anything – just wear something comfy you don’t mind getting messy
- Please arrive 10–15 minutes early to settle in
- Firing and glazing takes 4 weeks – we’ll let you know when your piece is ready
- Tickets are transferable, but non-refundable within 36 hours
- Fell in love with clay? Great — we offer courses, studio classes, and more to keep going!
