Drawing courses in Zurich Drawing courses in Basel

In our drawing courses, you will learn step by step how to depict the real world on paper - with lines, light and perspective. You will work with pencil, soft pastel, charcoal or chalk and immerse yourself in illustration, free drawing, portrait drawing and the art of observation. You will develop your own style - at your own pace.

No, you don't need to have any prior knowledge with us ... if you already know a thing or two, you can of course incorporate it. We'll show you step by step what you should bear in mind when drawing.

Beginners or advanced students - everyone can take part in our drawing courses.

Yes, that's right! Drawing is like the alphabet of the visual arts - it helps you to understand shapes, proportions, perspective, light and shadow. Whether painting, illustration, design or even animation: if you can draw, you have a strong foundation for all other techniques. That's why we at Creative Heart attach great importance to good drawing skills.

Sure. Your work is yours - perhaps it will soon end up in a beautiful frame. Or you can start your own sketchbook to record your progress.

A glowing myth, a quiet forest, and legendary brushstrokes.

Step into the stillness of a forest lake, where mist hangs low and something ancient shimmers just beneath the surface. Inspired by the legends of Avalon and the dreamy tones of Andrew Keola’s “Tranquil River,” this guided painting leads you into a world of soft greens, glowing light, and a little bit of magic.

In the centre of the lake, you’ll paint the quiet pulse of a green halo — the presence of the Lady herself, keeper of the Otherworld and guardian of secret realms. The setting is calm, mysterious, and deeply peaceful.

We’ll guide you through the reflections, glows, and forest silhouettes. You just bring your imagination and a willingness to drift somewhere mythy.

This is not a place you look for.
A quiet that isn’t constructed, but gently arrives.

The watercolour allows the scene to remain open — light drifting into water, movement dissolving into stillness. What remains is not a destination, but a pause. A space where nothing asks to be more than it is.

This painting rests in that in-between: calm, unforced, and quietly present.

Bright mountains, a shimmering lake, and light that feels almost alive.

Step into a radiant alpine world, where the air is crystal clear and colours glow with their own quiet power. Inspired by the luminous spirit of Ferdinand Hodler, this painting leads you into a landscape of bold blues, vibrant greens, and a horizon that seems to hum with energy.

Across the lake, small sailing boats drift like silent notes in a calm song. Their white sails catch the glow, guiding your eye deeper into the stillness. The mountains rise behind them in strong, rhythmic shapes — steady, serene, almost sacred.

We’ll guide you through the shimmering water, the glowing colour layers, and the gentle geometry of the peaks. You just bring your calm, your curiosity, and a willingness to step into a scene that feels a little brighter than reality.

Sculpt. Shape. Sunbathe. A beach day on canvas.

In this semi-guided textured event, we’re going overhead — your view of the seaside from above. With modelling paste and paint, you’ll shape foamy waves, sandy shores, and scatter tiny umbrellas with sunbathers below. Think playful details, summer vibes, and a splash of humour worked into every stroke.

No experience needed — just a taste for fun, bright colours, and beachy imagination. You’ll leave with a holiday scene that’s tactile, vibrant, and full of summer joy.

✨ 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 Toast to Creativity*
We kick off every event with a complimentary welcome drink — the perfect way to settle in, connect with fellow creatives, and get inspired. Choose from:
• A soft drink or hot drink
• A glass of wine, prosecco, or beer
• Or our rotating Cocktail of the Week

Want to treat yourself? Upgrade to one of our signature cocktails, mocktails, smoothies, or special drinks for just CHF 5–9.

🍴 Hungry for more?
Our Creative Café offers a tasty à la carte menu during the session — featuring wraps, bowls, finger foods, and healthy snacks to keep your energy (and creativity) up. Additional drinks can be ordered at regular menu prices.

*Welcome drink upgrade and food are only available at our Zürich location, Bederstrasse 94. In our classroom at Schulhausstrasse 52, only a limited range of welcome drinks is available.

Your pet is already a star — now it’s time to immortalise them in paint.

In this custom, joy-filled session, you’ll create a one-of-a-kind portrait of your beloved animal (real, imagined, or emotionally adopted). Think soulful eyes, majestic fluff, and maybe a tiny crown or a glass of wine in paw — because obviously.

After you book, you’ll send us a few photos of your pet. Our artist will choose the most paint-worthy one and prepare a drawing template for you, so when you show up, the canvas (or plate!) is ready and waiting. Yes — you can also choose to paint your pet onto a ceramic plate. Because what’s better than eating spaghetti off your dog’s face? Nothing.

With step-by-step guidance and space for your weirdest, cutest ideas, this session is part portrait, part love letter, and 100% celebration.

Where vessels become sculpture – and clay becomes yours.

This is more than just a bowl or a vase. It’s a chance to slow down, shape with intention, and create a piece that’s both functional and deeply personal. In this immersive ceramics workshop, we’ll explore how vessels — cups, plates, teapots, decorative forms — can be both useful and sculptural.

With expert guidance, you’ll learn traditional hand-building techniques and how to push their boundaries — forming shapes that reflect not just what you need, but who you are. You’ll be encouraged to experiment with form, texture, and creative expression as you sculpt a piece that feels grounded, beautiful, and uniquely yours.

In this class, you will create a vase or vessel approximately 30 cm tall. This size is achievable for beginners within the available time using the coiling technique.

Once complete, your work will be glazed and fired — ready to collect in about 4 weeks.

Want to bring it to life with colour? Book a painting session and receive a special discount to decorate your own ceramic creation.

Whether you’re just beginning or looking to deepen your connection to clay, this workshop invites you to transform a simple object into a soulful sculpture — one you’ll be proud to use, display, and keep.

Our ceramics workshops are one-off sessions designed for intensive skill-sharing in a relaxed, creative atmosphere. Whether you’re 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 — and follow your creativity wherever it leads.

Each workshop focuses on a specific process or form, guided by a professional ceramic artist. You’ll learn the core technique step by step, then have space to experiment, personalise, and take your piece in whatever direction feels right to you. It’s structured, supportive, and creatively wide open.

Workshops take place in our cosy, fully-equipped studios in Zürich and Basel, where everything’s set up to support your creative flow — including materials, tools, good lighting, and good vibes.

No pressure, no perfection — just the joy of discovering what you can create with your own two hands.

Tickets Eventdetails

Bigger than the game. Smaller than a salad bar. Totally handmade by you.

In this playful ceramic hand-building event, you’ll create your very own ceramic bowl — for cereal, snacks, soup, or just to admire and say, “Yeah, I made that.”

With step-by-step guidance from our instructor, you’ll learn how to shape, smooth, and form your bowl from scratch. There’ll be demos, tips, and lots of room to personalise — whether you go round and classic or add texture, sculptural flair, or a slightly wobbly rim (we call that charm).

🖐️ No experience? No problem. This event is beginner-friendly, stress-free, and all about discovering the joy of making something real with your hands.

🔥 After the event, we’ll glaze and fire your masterpiece. It’ll be ready for pickup in about 4 weeks — and yes, it’ll be food-safe.

✨ 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.
