Luck, layers, and lots of brushstrokes.
In Japanese culture, koi fish symbolise good fortune, strength, and longevity — often seen gliding through peaceful ponds surrounded by blooming flowers and lush greenery. Their vibrant colours (especially deep reds) are said to bring luck and new beginnings — making them a perfect muse for your next painted masterpiece.
In this relaxed and expressive ceramic painting event, you’ll paint a beautiful koi-inspired scene using layered, watercolour-like glazes and flowing brushwork — all on a ceramic plate that’s made to last.
We’ll guide you through the process step by step, but there’s plenty of room for personal flair. Whether you go bold with reds or peaceful with pastels, your piece will be uniquely yours — and totally ready to shine on your kitchen wall (or breakfast table).
✨ How PIE Events Work
You’ll be welcomed into our cozy, colourful studio, where creativity flows as easily as the drinks. Settle in, sip something tasty, and enjoy step-by-step guidance from our lovely instructors.
And here’s the twist: we’re painting it on ceramics.
In this special ceramic painting event, we’re turning everyday plates into mini-masterpieces. Sure, you can hand-paint a plate any time in our Creative Café – but this time, you’ll create something truly next level. With guidance, techniques, and a touch of wild inspiration, your piece will go from “cute” to captivating.
Fired, glazed, and designed to last – whether it hangs on your wall or holds your favourite slice of cake.
It’s painting, but with an edge. A little cooler. A little glossier. A whole lot more permanent.
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
🥂 Artsy Sips & Bites
Every event includes a complimentary welcome drink to get your creativity flowing. You can choose from:

- Or our Cocktail of the Week (rotates weekly)
Want to upgrade your welcome drink? We serve a curated selection of cocktails, mocktails, smoothies and more for just CHF 5–9 more.
