Spring field in Castelluccio di Norcia
Paint & Sip – PIE Guided Painting Event

Up to 20% discount for Members
The bloom is real.
High up in the Umbrian hills, there’s a place where wildflowers don’t just grow — they explode across the land in waves of red, yellow, violet and white. Welcome to Castelluccio di Norcia, home of the Fioritura — a yearly floral phenomenon that turns the landscape into one giant, breathtaking canvas.
In this bold, colorful painting session, we’re capturing the essence of that explosion — the vibrant fields, the soft geometry of the plains, the contrast of nature’s palette with that tiny village on top of it all.
You’ll learn to layer color, add texture, and use contrast to recreate this jaw-dropping view — no experience necessary. Just bring your love of landscape, color, and a little Italian flair.
This isn’t painting flowers in a vase — this is painting a valley in bloom.

Shape, depth, distance.
In this acrylic session, you’ll paint a classic Swiss mountain landscape — majestic peaks rendered in calm, monochrome tones. Using modeling paste, you’ll build up the rocky textures, then refine the light, shadows, and details with brushes and palette knives. The result is a powerful mountain scene that feels modern, minimal, and full of presence.
No experience needed — just drop in, follow the guided steps, and enjoy creating something timeless, tactile, and atmospheric.
✨ 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.

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.
*currently available only at our Creative Café, Bederstrasse 94, Zürich.

Pouring Acrylics (Dutch Pour, Kiss Pour)
Pour. Tilt. Wow – A PIE Workshop
- Workshop
- Beginner
- PIE Basel
- 3 hours
Up to 20% discount for Members
A workshop where the chaos is the point
Get ready to tilt, swirl, flip, and pour! In this hands-on 3-hour workshop, you’ll learn two of the most satisfying acrylic pouring techniques: Dutch Pour and Kiss Pour.
We’ll liquefy the paint, then let gravity, colour, and a bit of messy magic do the rest. With every tilt of the canvas, new patterns emerge — swirls, cells, waves, and very cool accidents.
You’ll create 3 unique artworks on 30 × 30 cm canvases, and yes:
It’ll look like you totally meant to do that.
Perfect for beginners, mess-lovers, abstract enthusiasts, and anyone who secretly wants to fling paint around without judgement.
✨ How the Workshop Works
Think of a Paint It Easy event — but with more time, more technique, and more creative depth. Our workshops are all about learning something new and meaningful while still enjoying the relaxed, feel-good PIE vibe.
Each workshop is guided by a professional artist and focuses on a specific creative technique, style, or material. Whether you’re trying it for the first time or want to deepen existing skills, you’ll get personal guidance, hands-on support, and time to really explore the process.
Most workshops take place in our beautiful, cosy studios in Zürich or Basel — full of colour, creativity, and a welcoming atmosphere. From time to time, we also host them at inspiring partner venues or outdoors in the sunny season.
No stress, no pressure — just a great setting to experiment, learn something new, and create something truly yours.
We provide everything you need:
- A warm and friendly learning environment
- All necessary materials and tools
- A mix of demonstration & individual guidance
- Artistic freedom — everyone interprets the technique their own way
Whether you’re a motivated beginner or a curious creative, this is the space to dive deeper, discover new methods, and leave with a skill that sticks.

Brushes out, vibes on — we’re heading to Monet’s garden.
In this vibrant acrylic session, we’ll dive headfirst into the iconic world of Claude Monet’s water lilies — minus the stuffy museum voice. Think soft petals, bold colour, dreamy reflections and the kind of loose, expressive brushwork that lets you paint what you feel, not just what you see.
You’ll learn how to blend, dab, layer, and play with light — all while creating your own version of this impressionist masterpiece. Classic or totally reimagined? Your pond, your rules.
Perfect for beginners, flower fans, and anyone who’s ever wanted to say, “Oh that? I painted it. It’s my Monet.”
