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.

Shading and light techniques to create depth
Proportions, structure & expression

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

Where Bloom Meets Bling

Inspired by the golden age of elegance, culture and oh-là-là, this painting session brings a modern twist to turn-of-the-century beauty. Think bold abstract blooms in rich blues, set against a shimmering gold background that would make Klimt proud (but with way more fun and fewer corsets).

It’s floral, but not fluffy. Glam, but not stiff. You’ll layer textures, play with metallics, and walk away with a canvas that feels like it belongs in a Parisian salon — or your living room.

Beret optional. Sparkle guaranteed.

✨ How the Event Works
Treat yourself to a creative experience, where you can unwind, sip & snack, and have fun with your friends — or make new ones — as you paint and craft your way through a feel-good session led by our lovely local artists.

No prior experience? No problem! We provide everything:

A chill, friendly atmosphere
All the necessary art supplies
Pre-prepared templates
Step-by-step guidance from our instructors

All you need to bring is your good vibes and curiosity! Whether you’re painting or getting crafty, you’ll leave with your own unique creation and plenty of great memories.

🥐 Artsy Brunch & Brushstrokes
We kick things off with a fresh croissant and your choice of hot drink or mimosa as you arrive — a little treat to ease into the creative mood.

🍳 What’s for Brunch?
Before the painting session, we invite you to enjoy our brunch buffet — freshly prepared and full of delicious options to refuel your creative self:

Açai bowl with granola
Avocado toast with eggs
Peanut butter & jam
A selection of cheeses
Vegan options available

And yes — a second drink is on us! Choose another coffee, tea, or mimosa to go with your meal.

If you’re in the mood for something more, smoothies, juices, and other drinks are available à la carte from our Creative Café.

Brushes out, vibes on — we’re heading to Monet’s garden.

In this vibrant acrylic session, we’ll dive headfirst into the iconic world of Claude Monet’s graden in Giverny — minus the stuffy museum voice. Think soft green shades, bold colour, dreamy reflections and the kind of loose, expressive brushwork that lets you paint what you feel, not just what you see.

You’ll learn how to blend, dab, layer, and play with light — all while creating your own version of this impressionist masterpiece. Classic or totally reimagined? Your pond, your rules.

Perfect for beginners, flower fans, and anyone who’s ever wanted to say, “Oh that? I painted it. It’s my Monet.”

A calm, layered painting session full of texture, tone, and tropical ease.
This isn’t wild — it’s quietly lush.

In this elegant painting session, you’ll explore the softness of silk-like tropical leaves: overlapping shapes, subtle greens, and textures you can almost feel. Against a white or misty grey background, the leaves take centre stage — layered, delicate, and just a little bit sculptural.

We’ll work with close tones and tonal contrast to build depth and movement — no harsh lines, just slow brushwork and the meditative rhythm of shadow and shape.

It’s the kind of painting that makes you breathe slower. Calm greens, quiet elegance, and a canvas that says more the longer you look at it.

No experience needed — just a love of nature, neutrals, and detail that speaks softly.

✨ How PIE semi-guided events work
Ready for a painting session that gives you just the right mix of direction and freedom?

At our semi-guided events, you get a clear theme and technique to start with – think of them as your creative launchpad. From there, it’s all about what you do with it.

Our artist guides are there to show you the essentials, share tips, and keep you inspired… but the real magic happens when you dive into your own creative waters ;) Follow the guidance closely or take a playful detour – both paths are perfect.

It’s the ideal balance of support and self-expression: enough structure to feel confident, enough freedom to surprise yourself. A little deeper, a little more intentional, and always a lot of fun.

A wild abstract painting session full of colour, chaos, and satisfying texture.
Who needs brushes when you’ve got a spatula, a mountain of modelling paste, and a whole mood to express?

In this bold, all-in painting session, you’ll layer, swipe, and sculpt your way into pure colour play — no plan, no pressure, just bold marks and thick textures that practically stand off the canvas.

We’ll work point by point, swipe by swipe, building up vibrant patterns and punchy colour fields that shift as you move. It’s a little pointillist, a little sculptural, and totally freeing.

Expect music, mess, and moments of accidental brilliance. This one’s for anyone who’s ever wanted to stop thinking and just create.

Luck, layers, and lots of brushstrokes.

In Japanese culture, koi fish symbolise good fortune, strength, and longevity — often seen gliding through peaceful ponds surrounded by blooming flowers and lush greenery. Their vibrant colours (especially deep reds) are said to bring luck and new beginnings — making them a perfect muse for your next painted masterpiece.

In this relaxed and expressive ceramic painting event, you’ll paint a beautiful koi-inspired scene using layered, watercolour-like glazes and flowing brushwork — all on a ceramic plate that’s made to last.

We’ll guide you through the process step by step, but there’s plenty of room for personal flair. Whether you go bold with reds or peaceful with pastels, your piece will be uniquely yours — and totally ready to shine on your kitchen wall (or breakfast table).

✨ How PIE Events Work

You’ll be welcomed into our cozy, colourful studio, where creativity flows as easily as the drinks. Settle in, sip something tasty, and enjoy step-by-step guidance from our lovely instructors.

And here’s the twist: we’re painting it on ceramics.

In this special ceramic painting event, we’re turning everyday plates into mini-masterpieces. Sure, you can hand-paint a plate any time in our Creative Café – but this time, you’ll create something truly next level. With guidance, techniques, and a touch of wild inspiration, your piece will go from “cute” to captivating.

Fired, glazed, and designed to last – whether it hangs on your wall or holds your favourite slice of cake.

It’s painting, but with an edge. A little cooler. A little glossier. A whole lot more permanent.

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

Let’s face it: a good pair of earrings can turn an ordinary day into something a little bit special. And when they’re handmade by you — from raw clay to shimmering silver — 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 earrings 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 silver 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 earrings — handcrafted, glazed, and finished with pearls and silver.

💎 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, silver 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.
