Paint & Sip – PIE Guided Painting Event

from 79.– CHF

Up to 20% discount for Members

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.

A bold, textured bird portrait with creamy layers, colour, and character.

This bird isn’t just perched — it’s posing.


In this vibrant painting session, we’re giving the great tit a full-on glamour moment: thick, sculpted strokes, glossy feathers you can almost touch, and a background in unapologetic pink.

Still water. Quiet thoughts. One very poetic brush.

In this atmospheric watercolor session, we’re painting more than just a lakeside view. Her Silent Reservoir is a calm, layered landscape that blurs the line between nature and emotion — a quiet lake nestled inside a woman’s silhouette, like a peaceful thought waiting to surface.

The mood is soft, slow, and a little mysterious — perfect for experimenting with loose washes, gentle gradients, and letting your brush do the feeling. Whether you see it as symbolic, surreal, or just really pretty, this piece is about holding space — for water, for silence, for yourself.

Deep? Maybe. Beautiful? Definitely.

  • Multi-day Course
  • Beginner
  • PIE Zürich
  • 6 × 2.5 hours
from 360.– CHF

Up to 20% discount for Members

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.


✏️ What to Expect

  • Step-by-step weekly guidance from a professional artist
  • Structured exercises to sharpen observation & drawing skills
  • Personal tips to help you build your confidence and style
  • A relaxed and supportive studio space to practise and explore

🧠 What You’ll Learn

  • How to see like an artist: shapes, edges, light, and shadow
  • Observational drawing: measuring, proportions, perspective
  • Line quality, shading, and building form on paper
  • How to add life and character to your drawings
  • The basics of composition and storytelling through drawing

🎁 What’s Included
We provide everything you need:

  • All materials: paper, pencils, erasers, drawing tools
  • Full use of our professional studio and resources

Just bring your curiosity — we’ll take care of the rest.

🤔 Is This Course Right for Me?
Absolutely. If you’ve ever said “I can’t draw,”
this course is here to prove you wrong — and show you how to start seeing like an artist.
Perfect for beginners or anyone looking to strengthen their creative foundation before diving into painting, illustration, or any other art form.

🥂 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.

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.

It’s a playful and beginner-friendly session designed to give you a feel for the material, the process, and the magic of making something from scratch.

You’ll create a small ceramic piece to keep — and leave with a better idea of whether this hobby is for you, or if you’re ready to dive deeper into a full course.

No prior experience needed. Just bring your curiosity — we’ll take care of the rest.

✨ 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.
