Vessels and Vases
Hand-built Creations: A PIE Ceramics Workshop
- PIE Event
- Beginner
- PIE Ceramics ZĂŒrich
- 2.5 hours
Up to 20% discount for Members
Vessels with handmade character
Looking to level up your clay game? This hands-on ceramics workshop is all about learning the ancient (and oddly satisfying) coiling technique â and using it to build your very own vessel or vase with serious personality.
With step-by-step guidance from our instructor, youâll shape your piece coil by coil, curve by curve â building form, balance, and your own artistic flair as you go. Whether you lean classic or a little wild, thereâs plenty of room to experiment with size, silhouette, and style.
Expect useful demos, creative detours, and a relaxed studio vibe that encourages questions, happy accidents, and the occasional âwhat if I try this?â moment.
In this class, you will create a vase or vessel approximately 20â25 cm tall. This size is achievable for beginners within the available time using the coiling technique.
Once your piece is complete, weâll glaze and fire it for you. Ready for pickup in around 4 weeks.
đš Want to give it colour too? Youâll get a discount to return for a painting session and decorate your ceramic creation with your own splash of magic.
This oneâs for anyone who wants to slow down, shape something special, and make a piece thatâs equal parts functional and fabulous.
