Drawing isn’t just a skill — it’s how you learn to see the world.

In this 6-week foundation course, you’ll build the most essential skill in all of visual arts: the ability to observe, interpret, and translate the 3D world around you onto a flat surface.

Through structured exercises, step-by-step techniques, and personal guidance, you’ll learn how to truly see shapes, light, proportions, and perspective — and how to bring life, soul, and composition to anything you draw.

This course is perfect for beginners and creative explorers who want to strengthen their artistic foundation before moving on to painting, illustration, or any other medium.

We’ll keep it relaxed and beginner-friendly, but make no mistake: this is the alpha of all creative learning. Master this, and you’ll see the world — and your creativity — in a whole new light.

Tickets Eventdetails

A lush, expressive painting session that’s equal parts sunset, petals, and joyful chaos.
It’s the meadow from a frog’s-eye view — stems towering overhead, flowers leaning into the last pink light of the day.

In this vibrant autumn-inspired session, you’ll capture a field that’s wild, textured, and just a little bit magical: grasses swaying, blooms bursting, and a soft, glowing sky after sunset.

And we won’t stop at brushwork — this is a playground for every technique. You’ll dribble, flick, pour, sizzle, and sprinkle paint to create depth, movement, and a touch of contemporary edge. Each layer adds richness, making your meadow feel like it’s still swaying in the evening breeze.

Bold blooms, a pink-tinged sky, and a whole lot of painterly freedom.

Come for the flowers. Stay for the glorious mess.

Golden Tears (in the style of Gustav Klimt)

Paint & Sip – PIE Guided Painting Event

PIE Event

PIE Zürich

Tickets Eventdetails

A quiet face. A bold feeling. And tears worth their weight in gold.

Inspired by the evocative work Freya’s Tears — often mistaken for Klimt, but actually painted by Anne Marie Zilberman — this piece focuses on a close-up of a woman’s face, both strong and soft, quiet and glowing.

In this painting session, you’ll bring your own interpretation to this elegant, emotional portrait, where sorrow and beauty sit side by side. With expressive brushwork, gilded accents, and subtle texture, you’ll explore the idea that tears — whether of grief or joy — are a kind of golden truth.

It’s powerful. It’s gentle. And it’s always a favourite.

A Garden’s Serenade

PIE Basel
2.5 hours

Up to 20% discount for Members

Tickets Eventdetails

Golden hour light. Wild blooms in motion. Your brush knows the rhythm.

This is no still life — this is a garden caught mid-song. Inspired by the expressive florals of Jaanika Talts, you’ll paint a bouquet of vivid pink and orange wildflowers, set against a lush, softly diffused green background that feels like early evening air.

It’s all about flow and freedom — bold strokes, blended edges, and colour that feels like it’s glowing from the inside out. Think movement, not precision. Vibes, not outlines. The kind of piece where petals blur, light lingers, and the whole canvas hums with quiet energy.

Let go of perfection, lean into your instincts, and let your brush do the blooming.

Paint & Sip – PIE Guided Painting Event

PIE Basel
2.5 Hours

from 69.– CHF

Up to 20% discount for Members

Tickets Eventdetails

This painting session is a love letter, not a likeness. Inspired by Frida Kahlo but never copying her outright, Fleurida blooms somewhere between portrait and feeling. A face emerges through heat and color, crowned with wild, abstract florals so lush they quietly steal the gaze — even the eyes stay just out of reach.

You’ll work with unapologetically vibrant, South American–inspired colors: sun-warmed reds, tropical greens, electric pinks, deep blues. The flowers are expressive and loose, more emotion than anatomy, layered boldly to create warmth, rhythm, and presence.

This isn’t about precision or perfection. It’s about confidence, color, and letting intuition lead the brush. No experience needed — just a willingness to paint boldly, embrace imperfection, and let the flowers speak louder than the lines.

Not a portrait.
Not a replica.
A tribute in full bloom. 🌺

From lump to lovely: A PIE Ceramics Course

Multi-day Course
Beginner
PIE Zürich
4 x 3 Hours

from 390.– CHF

Up to 20% discount for Members

Tickets Eventdetails

From your first lump of clay to a wheel-thrown masterpiece (or three).

This beginner-friendly 4 weeks course is your deep-dive intro to the spinning, swirling, centering joy of the potter’s wheel — no experience needed, just curiosity and a willingness to get a little muddy.

Over four weeks, we’ll guide you step by step through the fundamentals of wheel throwing: from prepping your clay and finding your centre, to pulling up walls and refining your form. You’ll shape pieces like cups, small bowls or vases — and begin to develop your own rhythm and relationship with this meditative, tactile craft.

This course is perfect if you’ve always wanted to try the wheel — or if you’ve done a taster and now want to go deeper.

Weekly classes with hands-on instruction and demos
Personalised guidance in a small group setting
Techniques like wedging, centering, opening, pulling, shaping & trimming
Intro to decorating tools: carving, stamping, and adding attachments
The basics of glazing and finishing
Full access to our professional ceramics studio and tools
Time to explore, experiment and build confidence on the wheel

🧠 What You’ll Learn

How to prepare and centre clay on the wheel
The core techniques of throwing symmetrical forms
How to trim and refine your pieces once leather-hard
Surface design & decoration techniques to make your work your own
Basic glazing principles and studio workflows
Best practices for independent practice and next steps

🎁 What’s Included

All tools, materials, and clay
Use of studio equipment and your own wheel each session
Firing & glazing of your finished pieces
Safe storage of your works between sessions
Your handmade ceramics — ready for pickup approx. 4 weeks after the last class

All you need to bring is comfy clothes, tied-back hair, and a sense of adventure. We’ll provide aprons, towels — and of course, encouragement.

🤔 Is This Course Right for Me?

Absolutely. This course is ideal for:

Complete beginners with no wheel experience
Anyone who’s taken a taster and is ready to deepen their skills
Creatives looking for structure, flow, and personal growth at the wheel

If you’re more experienced, you may want to explore our intermediate courses or ongoing Studio Classes to continue developing your style.

🥂 First Class Vibes: Sips, Snacks & 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. Choose from a soft drink, hot drink, wine, prosecco, beer — or our Cocktail of the Week.

🍴 Feeling peckish?
