Creative ceramic painting course Switzerland

Guardian of the Blue

Join us for a creative and relaxing ceramic painting session where we will paint a beautiful whale design together in watercolour style. This is a fully guided event, and step by step we will walk you through the entire process — from outlining the motif to adding colour, shading, and final details.

After the workshop, your piece will be glazed and professionally fired, ready for pickup and everyday use or display.

We’ll guide you through the process step by step, but there’s plenty of room for personal flair. Whether you go bold with string colours 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.

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

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.

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).

Golden Luster Ceramic Workshop

In this special 2 hours workshop, you will learn how to apply real gold luster to your ceramic pieces and create elegant metallic accents that shine after firing. This class is suitable for beginners as well as returning artists who want to elevate their work with luxurious details.

What we will do:
Over the course of two hours, our instructor will guide you through the process of working with golden luster—how to prepare your ceramic surface, apply the luster safely, create clean lines and decorative highlights, and achieve the best results after firing.

Bring your own pieces – or use ours:
You’re welcome to bring glazed ceramics you previously created in our studio, or you can choose from a small selection of studio pieces provided for the workshop. Gold lustre can be applied to most glazed surfaces, adding beautiful accents such as outlines, patterns, lettering, or decorative highlights.
One medium sized piece to paint is included, and you can still choose more items on the spot.

Important information:
1. Health & Safety
Golden luster is a speciality ceramic material that contains real gold and should be handled with care. It has a strong smell, so we’ll use small amounts and keep the room well-ventilated. Please avoid touching your face while painting and wash your hands thoroughly afterwards.

Keep luster away from food, drinks, and personal items. A tiny bit goes a long way—use it sparingly and always keep jars closed when not in use. If you’re pregnant or sensitive to strong scents, please let us know so we can offer extra guidance or alternatives.

We’ll show you exactly how to apply the luster safely, and all firing is done by us. Your golden pieces will be ready for pickup in about two weeks.

2. FIRING
Golden luster requires a separate firing at a lower temperature. Because of this, you will not be able to take your pieces home after the class.
Firing takes approximately 2 weeks, after which you can pick up your finished ceramics at the studio.

3. Cost & amount
Please note: Gold luster is a very precious material — it contains real gold and is therefore quite expensive. For this reason, we use it only in small amounts during the workshop and allow only limited golden details. This ensures that everyone has enough material and that we can work with it responsibly.



📦 A Few More Things to Know

• No need to bring anything – just wear something comfy you don’t mind getting a bit clay-kissed
• Please arrive 10–15 minutes early to settle in
• Firing and glazing takes 4 weeks – we’ll let you know when your piece is ready
• Tickets are transferable, but non-refundable within 36 hours
• If you fall in love with wheel-throwing (warning: you might), we’ve got full courses and studio classes waiting for you!

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.

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.
