Spinning Beginnings: First Steps on the Potter‘s Wheel

Wheel Throwing Beginner Course · 4 Weekly Classes

  • Multi-day Course
  • Beginner
  • BASEL · PIE Ceramics Studio
  • 4 × 2.5 hours
from 460.– CHF

Up to 20% discount for Members

From your first lump of clay to pieces you’ve thrown yourself.

There’s something almost hypnotic about watching a piece of clay take shape on the wheel – but getting there is a skill. And this course is where you learn it properly.

Starting from the very beginning, you’ll get comfortable at the pottery wheel and gradually build the techniques needed to create your own vessels. You’ll learn how to prepare and centre your clay, open it, pull up the walls and start controlling shape and proportion.

As the course progresses, you’ll move from simply keeping the clay under control to intentionally creating cups, bowls, small vessels and other forms – then refining, trimming and decorating the pieces you want to keep.

It takes patience. Things will wobble. Some pieces might collapse. And then suddenly your hands start understanding what to do – and that’s where the magic happens.

✏️ What to Expect

  • Guided demonstrations followed by plenty of hands-on practice
  • Your own workspace at the pottery wheel
  • A gradual progression from basic exercises to creating your own vessels
  • Individual feedback and guidance throughout the course
  • Time to repeat techniques, experiment and build confidence
  • Trimming, refining and decorating your selected pieces
  • An introduction to glazing and finishing your work

🧠 What You’ll Learn

  • How to prepare clay for throwing
  • How to centre clay confidently on the wheel
  • Opening the clay and establishing an even base
  • Pulling and controlling walls
  • Creating and refining different vessel shapes
  • Trimming and finishing your pieces
  • Basic surface decoration and glazing techniques
  • The foundations you need to continue practising wheel throwing independently

🤔 Is This the Right Course for Me?
This course is for you if you want to actually learn how to throw on the pottery wheel, rather than simply try it once.

You’ll probably enjoy it most if you like learning with your hands, don’t mind repeating a technique several times and find satisfaction in gradually getting better at something. Wheel throwing takes patience – your first bowl might be wonky, your second might collapse, and that’s very much part of learning.

If you’re mainly looking for a relaxed one-time experience and want to try the wheel without committing to learning the technique, our Wheel Throwing Taster Workshop might be a better fit.

But if you want to build solid foundations, understand what your hands are actually doing and gain the confidence to continue practising afterwards, this is your course.

Down to Earth: First Steps in Ceramics

Handbuilding Beginner Course · 4 Weekly Classes

  • Multi-day Course
  • Beginner
  • ZÜRICH · PIE Ceramics Studio
  • 4 × 2.5 hours
from 370.– CHF

Up to 20% discount for Members

A lump of clay. Two hands. Surprisingly many possibilities.

Handbuilding is where some of ceramics’ oldest techniques meet almost unlimited creative freedom. Using pinching, slabs and coils, you can turn clay into everything from cups and plates to vases and sculptural forms.

Throughout the course, you’ll explore the three fundamental handbuilding techniques: pinching, slab building and coiling. Each opens up a different way of working with clay and gives you new possibilities for creating both functional and decorative pieces.

Through a series of guided projects, you’ll gradually build your ceramic toolbox: learning how to construct, join and shape clay, play with textures and surface decoration, and finally glaze your creations.

It’s tactile, playful and wonderfully versatile – with plenty of room to experiment and develop pieces that feel completely your own.

✏️ What to Expect
You’ll explore the fundamental handbuilding techniques through a series of projects:

Pinching – shape your first cup or mug using one of the most intuitive ways of working with clay.

Slab Building – learn to work with rolled clay slabs and transform them into plates and other constructed forms.

Coiling – build upwards with coils of clay to create a vase or taller vessel.

Glazing & Finishing – explore colour and surface to give your handmade pieces their final character.

Throughout the course, you’ll receive demonstrations, individual guidance and plenty of freedom to interpret each project in your own way.

🧠 What You’ll Learn

  • The fundamentals of pinch pottery
  • How to construct forms using clay slabs
  • How to build larger and taller pieces using coils
  • How to join clay securely and create stable forms
  • How to control shape, thickness and structure
  • Surface decoration using textures, patterns and carving
  • The basics of glazing and finishing
  • How to combine these techniques when developing your own projects

🤔 Is This the Right Course for Me?
This course is a great fit if you enjoy making things with your hands, experimenting with form and texture, and having creative freedom within a guided learning process.

You’ll probably appreciate it most if you’re curious about how objects are constructed and enjoy the process of slowly building something from scratch. Handbuilding allows for precision, but it also celebrates irregularity, character and personal expression – your pieces don’t all need to look identical or perfectly symmetrical.

If you’re mainly interested in learning the technical skill of throwing symmetrical vessels on the pottery wheel, our Wheel Throwing Beginner Course is probably the better choice.

But if you want to build a broad foundation in ceramics, discover several versatile techniques and eventually combine them freely in your own projects, this is a fantastic place to start.

Sweet May · Watercolor Painting

Guided Watercolour Painting Workshop

  • Workshop
  • Beginner
  • ZÜRICH · PIE Painting Studio
  • 2.5 Hours
from 70.– CHF

Up to 20% discount for Members

A field in bloom, high in the mountains in May — where the air is still cool, but already carries the sweet scent of coming summer evenings.

In this watercolour painting session, we’ll capture a vast, flowing meadow filled with flowers and rich, warm green tones stretching across a mountain landscape. It’s a scene full of softness, atmosphere, and quiet movement — where light, mist, and colour gently dissolve into one another.

This is the perfect painting to explore the wet-on-wet technique, learning how to let pigments bleed, blend, and flow naturally on the paper to create that airy, luminous quality unique to watercolour. You’ll discover how to control just enough — and let go just enough — for the landscape to paint itself.

We’ll also focus on how to create the illusion of depth and perspective: how softer edges, cooler tones, and lighter washes can push forms into the distance, while richer greens and more defined brushwork bring the foreground to life. Step by step, you’ll build a sense of space that draws the eye through the field and into the mountains beyond.

Action Painting

Guided Expressive Abstract Art Workshop

  • Workshop
  • Beginner
  • BASEL · PIE Action Painting Park
  • 2.5 hours
from 60.– CHF

Up to 20% discount for Members

Splash. Drip. Splatter. Total Freedom.
Looking for a creative experience that’s energetic, expressive and completely different from traditional painting?

Our Action Painting Workshop combines the excitement of throwing, dripping and splashing paint with the artistic principles behind creating a powerful abstract artwork.

After a short introduction, your instructor will guide the group through a series of Action Painting techniques while explaining how abstract paintings are built through composition, layering, colour relationships and texture. Rather than recreating a predefined motif, you’ll gradually develop your own artwork over approximately two hours, allowing every splash, brushstroke and creative decision to influence what comes next.

Action Painting is an intuitive journey. Every mark on the canvas becomes the starting point for the next, creating a continuous process of acting, observing and reacting. Along the way, you’ll experiment with a wide variety of paints, tools and creative techniques while your instructor shares demonstrations, artistic guidance and individual feedback whenever you need it.

No two paintings will ever look alike. While everyone explores the same techniques together, each participant follows their own creative path, discovering their own balance between spontaneity and intention.

Whether you’re looking to switch off after a busy week, reconnect with your creativity or simply experience painting in a completely different way, Action Painting offers the freedom to experiment while giving you the artistic guidance to turn expressive marks into a finished abstract composition.

You’ll leave not only with a unique artwork, but with a deeper understanding of how abstract paintings evolve—and the confidence to trust your own creative instincts.

Introduction to Drawing

Beginner Course · 6 Weekly Classes

  • Multi-day Course
  • Beginner
  • BASEL · PIE Painting Studio & Action Painting Park
  • 6 × 2.5 hours
from 420.– CHF

Up to 20% discount for Members

Every great artist starts by learning to see.

Drawing is much more than putting pencil to paper. It’s the foundation of almost every visual art form—the skill that teaches you to observe, understand and interpret the world around you.

In this six-week foundation course, you’ll develop the most important artistic ability of all: seeing like an artist. Together we’ll explore observation, proportion, perspective, light, shadow, composition and form while learning how to transform the three-dimensional world around us into convincing drawings.

Every week introduces new concepts through demonstrations, structured exercises and practical projects that gradually build your confidence. Rather than simply learning how to copy what you see, you’ll discover why objects look the way they do—and how artists simplify, analyse and reconstruct them on paper.

Drawing is often described as the language of visual art. Whether you dream of becoming a painter, illustrator, designer, sculptor or simply want to draw with confidence, the skills you develop here will support everything you create afterwards.

If you’ve ever thought “I can’t draw,” this course is here to change your mind. With the right guidance and plenty of practice, you’ll soon discover that drawing isn’t a talent reserved for a few—it’s a skill that anyone can learn.

✏️ What to Expect

  • A comprehensive six-week introduction to drawing
  • Weekly guidance from a professional artist
  • Live demonstrations introducing essential drawing techniques
  • Structured exercises that gradually build your observation and drawing skills
  • Plenty of individual drawing time with personal feedback
  • A relaxed and encouraging studio environment where curiosity and experimentation are always welcome

🧠 What You’ll Learn

  • How to observe like an artist
  • Shape, proportion and perspective
  • Light, shadow and creating three-dimensional form
  • Line quality, values and texture
  • Composition and visual storytelling
  • The universal drawing principles that support every artistic medium

🤔 Is This Course Right for Me?
Absolutely.
Whether you’ve never held a pencil with artistic intention before or you’d like to build a stronger creative foundation before exploring painting, illustration or other artistic disciplines, this course is the ideal place to begin.
The skills you’ll develop here won’t just improve your drawings—they’ll change the way you observe the world and support every creative step that follows.

Morning Meadow

Guided Acrylic Painting Workshop

  • Beginner
  • ZÜRICH · PIE Action Painting Park
  • 2.5 Hours
from 70.– CHF

Up to 20% discount for Members

Catch the first light of day!
In this painting session, we’re greeting the dawn. Against a glowing horizon, you’ll paint fields of red flowers shimmering with morning dew, grasses touched by cool colours, and the rising sun just peeking through. With soft strokes and fresh tones, you’ll capture that fleeting moment when night turns into day.

Along the way, you’ll learn how to build soft, seamless colour gradients for a morning sky, and how to control transitions so they feel natural and atmospheric rather than harsh. We’ll also explore how to break down strong tube colours and refine them into muted, misty tones that match the softness of dawn light.

A special focus will be on creating textural floral elements using a professional tool: the palette knife – learning how to layer, shape, and add expressive texture to your foreground. You’ll also get an introduction to colour harmony and atmospheric colour mixing, helping you better understand how light, mood, and colour temperature work together in a landscape.

Introduction to Painting (Acrylics)

Beginner Course · 6 Weekly Classes

  • Multi-day Course
  • Beginner
  • BASEL · PIE Painting Studio & Action Painting Park
  • 6 × 2.5 hours
from 420.– CHF

Up to 20% discount for Members

Your painting journey starts here.

This six-week foundation course is designed to give you something far more valuable than simply learning how to use acrylic paint. It teaches you the universal principles of painting—the skills and artistic thinking that form the foundation of almost every painting technique, style and medium you’ll encounter in the future.

Using acrylics as our starting point, you’ll discover how paintings are built from the ground up. Together we’ll explore colour theory, composition, brushwork, values, light and shadow, perspective, texture and layering while gradually developing the confidence to approach any blank canvas with purpose.

Throughout the course, every new concept is introduced through demonstrations, practical exercises and individual projects. Rather than simply copying paintings, you’ll learn why artistic decisions work and how to apply those principles to your own creative ideas.

Because acrylics dry quickly, are incredibly versatile and wonderfully forgiving, they’re the perfect medium for learning the fundamentals of painting. Once you understand these principles, you’ll find it much easier to explore oils, watercolours, gouache or almost any other painting medium in the future.

Whether you’re holding a brush for the very first time or looking to replace guesswork with genuine understanding, this course gives you the knowledge, confidence and creative foundation to continue growing as an artist long after the six weeks are over.

✏️ What to Expect

  • A comprehensive six-week introduction to painting
  • Weekly guidance from a professional artist
  • Live demonstrations introducing essential techniques and artistic principles
  • Practical exercises and plenty of personal painting time with individual feedback
  • A relaxed and encouraging studio environment 

🧠 What You’ll Learn

  • The fundamental principles of painting
  • Colour theory, colour mixing and color palettes
  • Brush techniques, layering and texture
  • Light, shadow, values and depth
  • Composition and visual balance
  • How to confidently start, develop and finish a painting
  • Artistic thinking that applies to almost every painting medium

🤔 Is This Course Right for Me?
Absolutely.
Whether you’ve never picked up a paintbrush before or you’re looking for a structured foundation before exploring different artistic styles, this course is the ideal place to begin.
Rather than focusing only on acrylic painting, you’ll develop skills and knowledge that will support your artistic journey across virtually every painting medium you’ll encounter in the future.
