Master the face in four weeks — one line at a time.

Want to draw portraits that actually look like people? This four-week course is here to help you understand the structure of the human face — and give you the tools, techniques, and confidence to draw it like a pro.

You’ll work with a variety of materials including pencil and charcoal, and each session will focus on a specific element of portrait drawing: structure, features, proportion, light and shadow, expression, and more.

Each class includes a short demo & discussion, followed by guided exercises — first from photo reference, and in the final week, you’ll draw from a live model right in the Studio.

✏️ What to Expect
A deep dive into portrait drawing fundamentals — over 4 evening sessions

Explore different media: pencil, charcoal, pastel, and sanguine
Learn facial construction, anatomy, gesture & expression
Weekly drawing exercises from reference images
A full live model session in the final class
Feedback, support & gentle critique throughout
All levels welcome (though some drawing experience helps!)

🎒 What’s Included

All materials (paper, drawing tools, boards, etc.)
Studio use & storage for your artworks
Live model posing in Week 4
Individual guidance and instructor feedback

Just bring your curiosity and a positive attitude — we’ll take care of the rest!

💡 What You’ll Learn

Basic face construction: skull shapes, symmetry, planes
Drawing key features: eyes, nose, mouth, ears, hair
Shading and light techniques to create depth
Proportions, structure & expression
How to capture likeness & personality

🎯 Is This Course Right for Me?
If you’ve done our Introduction to Drawing Course, or have basic drawing experience, this is your next step. You’ll build a strong foundation for portraiture and grow your skills week by week.

Even experienced artists will benefit from focused exercises and live model practice. For more advanced students, join our studio sessions for more independent, project-based learning.

🥂 First Class Vibes: Sips & Hellos
We like to kick things off on a warm and social note. During the first class, we’ll take a little extra time to get to know each other — and we’ll toast to the beginning of your creative journey with a welcome drink.

📦 A Few More Things to Know

Arrival: Please come 15 minutes early to settle in and connect with your classmates.
Storage: We’ll safely store your creations between classes and package them nicely at the end of the course.

✨ Design & Dangle – make it, wear it, love it

Let’s face it: a statement piece of jewellery can turn an ordinary day into something special. And when they’re handmade by you — from raw clay to lively wearables — they don’t just accessorize, they tell a story.

Over two cosy, creative sessions, you’ll get your hands (and maybe your sleeves) into the world of ceramic jewellery. From soft slabs of clay to the final glint of a polished pearl, you’ll craft pendants and necklaces that are uniquely, beautifully yours.

Session 1: Shape Your Style
We’ll start from the ground up — literally. In 2,5 hours You’ll explore different clay types, learn how to handle and shape them, and experiment with hand-building techniques like pinching and slab work. With guidance from our instructors, you’ll bring your ideas to life, refining each curve and contour until your designs feel just right.

Session 2: Fire, Finish & Flaunt
Two weeks later, when your pieces are fired, it’s time to add the magic. You’ll dive into jewellery assembly, learning how to pair your ceramic forms with metal findings and luminous pearls. Step by step, we’ll guide you through assembling and securing your pieces — ready to wear, gift, or show off with pride. This session is only 1 hour, giving you all the tools and parts that you need for assembly.

By the end, you’ll walk away with:

🌿 A pair (or two!) of one-of-a-kind ceramic jewellery — handcrafted, glazed, and finished wearables.

💎 A new appreciation for the delicate dance between clay and jewellery design.

🔥 And maybe, a brand-new creative obsession.

Everything’s included: clay, tools, firings, glazes, pearls, metal findings — and expert guidance from ceramic artists of PIE.

This is a workshop for the curious, the creative, and anyone who loves to make something truly their own. No experience needed — just bring your hands, your ideas, and your spark.

It’s the perfect intro to ceramics: a little messy, a lot of fun, and totally satisfying. You’ll walk away with clay on your hands, colour on your plate, and a new skill (or obsession?) in the making.

🔥 After the event, we glaze and fire your piece for you.
It’ll be ready to pick up in about 4 weeks — food-safe and fabulous.

✨ 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.

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.
