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.

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.

Splash. Drip. Splatter. Total freedom.
The perfect stress release after a tense week.

In this action painting session, you’ll suit up in full-body protective overalls, grab your colours, and step into a space designed for making a glorious mess. Channel your inner Pollock as you throw, pour, drip, and smear paint with energy and spontaneity.

But this experience can be as wild — or as introspective — as you want it to be.

Beyond the action, this workshop also opens the door to intuitive painting: a space to slow down, tune in, and connect with your inner landscape. Through a short but meaningful introduction to colour theory, you’ll explore how thoughts and emotions can be translated into colour, movement, and form.

You’ll experiment with layering, different tools, and a wide range of mark-making techniques — from bold, expressive gestures to more subtle, intentional strokes. Throwing paint is just one of many possibilities — you choose where to place your focus.

No rules, no pressure — just pure expression, guided by our artists who support your individual approach and meet you where you are.

This is more than fun — it’s liberating. You’ll leave not only with a unique artwork, but with new ways to express yourself, release tension, and tap into your creativity — on and off the canvas.

✨ How PIE Action Painting Workshops Run
You arrive, take a breath, pick your welcome drink — and instead of sitting down, you step into it. You’ll get your protective overalls, switch into painting mode, and get ready to let go a little. We start on time, so make sure you’re there and ready to dive in.

Next, your instructor takes the stage, giving you a quick, easy intro to the materials and tools — showing you what’s possible, how to move, splash, layer, and play. Nothing overwhelming, just getting you comfortable and ready to experiment.

Then the fun really begins. You’ll explore layering, different tools, and a wide range of mark-making techniques. The space is yours to explore: move between the splashing area, where you can let loose, and the refining area, where you can slow things down and shape your piece. Throughout the session, your instructor is there to guide you with personal tips and support.

At the end, we bring everyone together for a group photo — with your finished piece and great vibes.

No prior experience? No problem! We provide everything*:

A chill, friendly atmosphere
All the necessary art supplies
Full-body overalls and shoe protection
A mix of demonstration & individual guidance

* We provide protective overalls, but we highly recommend not wearing your favourite or most expensive clothes, as paint may still seep through. Please also bring a pair of socks that you don’t mind getting paint on or wet.

Arrival: Please arrive 10 minutes early to grab your drink and settle in.
Cancellations: Tickets are transferable but non-refundable within 36 hours. You can reschedule your spot up to 72 hours before the workshop.
Alcohol: Served only to guests aged 18+.

A quiet face. A bold feeling. And tears worth their weight in gold.
Inspired by the evocative portraitsof Gustav Klimt — 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.

Heavy Blossom. Petals in 3D. Spring you can almost touch.
Ever wanted to paint something so lush you feel like you could pluck it off the canvas? This is your moment.

In this semi-guided, textured acrylic session, you’ll create a dreamy cherry blossom branch in soft pink hues, set against a hazy pastel background. With modelling paste, you’ll build thick, velvety petals and a sturdy branch that practically pop out of the painting.

We’ll guide you in mixing tender tones, sculpting with your palette knife, and layering texture so the blossoms feel weighty, rich, and irresistibly touchable.
Perfect for beginners, texture lovers, and anyone who wants to bring a little springtime magic into their space — no matter the season.

✨ How PIE Semi-Guided Workshops Run
You arrive, take a breath, pick your welcome drink and settle into your spot at the table where the magic will happen. We start on time, so make sure you`re there and ready to dive in.

Next, your instructor takes the stage, giving you a quick, easy intro to the materials — 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.

Then the fun really begins. Our instructors 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.

At the end, we bring everyone together for a group photo — your finished piece, great vibes.

Surface Art: Sgraffito

Unveiling Hidden Depths: a PIE Ceramic Workshop

Workshop

PIE Ceramics Basel
2.5 hours

from 95.– CHF

Up to 20% discount for Members

Tickets Eventdetails

Scratch beneath the surface — and reveal something beautiful.

Sgraffito — from the Italian “to scratch” — is a decorative ceramics technique that’s all about revealing contrast, pattern, and surprise. In this inspiring 3-hour workshop, you’ll learn how to turn a simple slab of clay into a stunning ceramic plate using this ancient and captivating method.

We’ll start by rolling and shaping your plate by hand, then applying a layer of coloured slip (liquid clay). Once that’s set, the real magic begins — you’ll carve into the surface to create your own design, revealing the clay underneath in bold lines, fine textures, or whatever shapes your imagination leads you to. No drawing skills needed — just a sense of curiosity and a love of detail.

You’ll be guided every step of the way in a relaxed and welcoming studio atmosphere. From the first press of clay to the final scratch of your carving tool, you’ll explore the sgraffito process with hands-on support, plenty of encouragement, and a glass of something refreshing in hand — your choice of wine, tea, prosecco, or something non-alcoholic to sip as you shape.

After the session, we’ll take care of glazing and firing your piece. Your finished sgraffito plate will be ready for pickup in about 4 weeks. One plate is included in the price — if you’re inspired to make more, you can simply pay for extra materials on the spot.

This workshop is perfect for anyone looking to slow down, scratch beneath the surface, and uncover something beautifully their own.

✨ How PIE Ceramics Workshops Work

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.
