What we will be doing
Who says vases have to be boring? đžđŻđŠ
Not here!
Get your hands dirty and your imagination running wild as we squish, roll, and shape clay into the weirdest, cutest animal vases you can dream up. From long-necked llamas to round little penguins â anything goes (yes, even a sausage dog flower pot⊠please do that).
Weâll show you the basics, but after that? Itâs all you. Big ears, tiny tails, goofy faces â the wilder, the better.
âš Warning: extreme levels of cuteness guaranteed.
Bonus: theyâll actually hold flowers when youâre done.
Some of our workshops may be held in English depending on the instructor đ We really appreciate your openness and flexibility!
âš How PIE Ceramics Workshops Work
Our ceramics workshops are one-off sessions designed for intensive skill-sharing in a relaxed, creative atmosphere. Whether youâre 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 â and follow your creativity wherever it leads.
Each workshop focuses on a specific process or form, guided by a professional ceramic artist. Youâll learn the core technique step by step, then have space to experiment, personalise, and take your piece in whatever direction feels right to you. Itâs structured, supportive, and creatively wide open.
Workshops take place in our cosy, fully-equipped studios in ZĂŒrich and Basel, where everythingâs set up to support your creative flow â including materials, tools, good lighting, and good vibes.
No pressure, no perfection â just the joy of discovering what you can create with your own two hands.
