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.

Domino Effect: From Clay to Play
Shape & Fun: PIE Ceramics Event
- PIE Event
- Beginner
- PIE Zürich
- 2.5 hours
Up to 20% discount for Members
Because store-bought is boring.
A creative ceramics event where timeless gameplay meets handmade design.
Turn a lump of clay into a full set of playable art.
In this relaxed, hands-on session, you’ll sculpt and personalise your own set of ceramic dominoes—each tile crafted by hand, with your own creative twist.
Classic game, modern glow-up.
With step-by-step guidance, you’ll shape, dot, and decorate each piece—whether you go minimalist, maximalist, or totally abstract. Add texture, colour, or subtle flair. No experience needed—just a love of making and maybe a bit of strategy.
You’ll leave with:
- A full domino set, handmade and uniquely yours
- New clay skills (and maybe a new hobby)
- A game-night centerpiece with serious style
Once your set is fired in the kiln, it’s ready to play, gift, or simply admire.
Satisfying to make. Even better to play.
✨ How PIE Ceramics Events Work
Treat yourself to a hands-on creative moment — where you can sip, snack, and sculpt your way through a fun and relaxing ceramics session. Whether you come solo, with friends, or for a team night out, you’ll enjoy a feel-good atmosphere, great company, and your very own ceramic creation to take home (well… after it’s been fired 😉).
Each event is led by one of our friendly ceramic artists, who’ll guide you step-by-step through shaping and decorating your piece. No pressure, no perfection — just good vibes, creative flow, and the joy of getting your hands dirty in the best possible way.
Most of our events take place in our beautiful, cosy studios in Zürich and Basel — fully equipped, full of charm, and designed to spark your imagination. Every now and then, we also pop up in partner venues like bars, cafés, or sunny outdoor locations.

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
10:30 - 12:00: Workshop phase
12:00 - 12:45: Lunch
12:45 - 15:15: Excursions (outdoor/indoor)
15:30 - 17:00: Individual projects or group sessions
17:00 - 17:15: Final round & pick-up
The times and activities can be adapted depending on the weather or the focus of the programme.
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.
