Textures of Nature: Thick Jungle

Paint & Sip – PIE Guided Painting Event

  • PIE Event
  • Beginner
  • PIE Basel
  • 2.5 Hours
from 79.– CHF

Up to 20% discount for Members

A calm, layered painting session full of texture, tone, and tropical ease.
This isn’t wild — it’s quietly lush.


In this elegant painting session, you’ll explore the softness of silk-like tropical leaves: overlapping shapes, subtle greens, and textures you can almost feel. Against a white or misty grey background, the leaves take centre stage — layered, delicate, and just a little bit sculptural.

We’ll work with close tones and tonal contrast to build depth and movement — no harsh lines, just slow brushwork and the meditative rhythm of shadow and shape.

It’s the kind of painting that makes you breathe slower. Calm greens, quiet elegance, and a canvas that says more the longer you look at it.

No experience needed — just a love of nature, neutrals, and detail that speaks softly.


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.


🥂 Artsy Sips & Bites*
Every event includes a complimentary welcome drink to get your creativity flowing. You can choose from:

  • A soft drink or hot drink
  • A glass of wine, prosecco, or beer
  • Or our Cocktail of the Week (rotates weekly)

Want to upgrade your welcome drink? We serve a curated selection of cocktails, mocktails, smoothies and more for just CHF 5–9 more.

🍴 Feeling peckish? Our Creative Café offers a delicious à la carte menu throughout the session — featuring homemade wraps, salad bowls, finger foods, and healthy snacks — perfect for fueling your inner artist. Extra drinks are also available at regular menu prices.

* Artsy bites and a curated selection of cocktails and smoothies — currently available only at our Creative Café, Bederstrasse 94, Zürich.

Blueberries & a Bowl That Knows It’s Gorgeous

FAQs - the most important facts about our painting studio in Basel

Do I have to register in advance?

At the moment yes! Spontaneous drop-ins are not (yet) possible. Just write to us by email or WhatsApp and we'll reserve a place for you. Or sign up for one of our courses.

Suitable for beginners?

Whether you're painting for the first time or you're already a regular at the studio - you've come to the right place.

Just yourself and a good mood. You'll find everything else with us.

Can I just pop in like that?

Unfortunately not at the moment. But don't worry: we're working on it - then you can drop in spontaneously.

What happens to my pictures?

Your work of art is yours, of course - hang it up at home or give it as a gift with love. Or simply bring it back with you next time and continue in peace. As a member, you can store unfinished works in our studio for up to two weeks.

Where Bloom Meets Bling

Inspired by the golden age of elegance, culture and oh-là-là, this painting session brings a modern twist to turn-of-the-century beauty. Think bold abstract blooms in rich blues, set against a shimmering gold background that would make Klimt proud (but with way more fun and fewer corsets).

It’s floral, but not fluffy. Glam, but not stiff. You’ll layer textures, play with metallics, and walk away with a canvas that feels like it belongs in a Parisian salon — or your living room.

Beret optional. Sparkle guaranteed.

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 graden in Giverny — minus the stuffy museum voice. Think soft green shades, 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.”

Textures of Nature: Thick Jungle

Paint & Sip – PIE Guided Painting Event

  • PIE Event
  • Beginner
  • PIE Basel
  • 2.5 Hours
from 79.– CHF

Up to 20% discount for Members

A calm, layered painting session full of texture, tone, and tropical ease.
This isn’t wild — it’s quietly lush.


In this elegant painting session, you’ll explore the softness of silk-like tropical leaves: overlapping shapes, subtle greens, and textures you can almost feel. Against a white or misty grey background, the leaves take centre stage — layered, delicate, and just a little bit sculptural.

We’ll work with close tones and tonal contrast to build depth and movement — no harsh lines, just slow brushwork and the meditative rhythm of shadow and shape.

It’s the kind of painting that makes you breathe slower. Calm greens, quiet elegance, and a canvas that says more the longer you look at it.

No experience needed — just a love of nature, neutrals, and detail that speaks softly.


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.

Rich colours, slow drying, and the most satisfying brushstrokes you’ve ever made.

A wild abstract painting session full of colour, chaos, and satisfying texture.
Who needs brushes when you’ve got a spatula, a mountain of modelling paste, and a whole mood to express?

In this bold, all-in painting session, you’ll layer, swipe, and sculpt your way into pure colour play — no plan, no pressure, just bold marks and thick textures that practically stand off the canvas.

We’ll work point by point, swipe by swipe, building up vibrant patterns and punchy colour fields that shift as you move. It’s a little pointillist, a little sculptural, and totally freeing.

Expect music, mess, and moments of accidental brilliance. This one’s for anyone who’s ever wanted to stop thinking and just create.

More colour. More texture. More joy.
Bring the energy — we’ve got the paste.

Billowing light, drifting blue, and clouds that feel almost touchable.

Step into a sky that seems to breathe — soft, rolling blues rising into thick, sculpted clouds that glow with quiet energy. This piece invites you into an atmosphere of movement and softness, where every brushstroke feels like a shift in the wind.


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

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. Their vibrant colours (especially deep reds) are said to bring luck and new beginnings — making them a perfect muse for your next painted masterpiece.

In this relaxed and expressive ceramic painting event, you’ll paint a beautiful koi-inspired scene using layered, watercolour-like glazes and flowing brushwork — all on a ceramic plate that’s made to last.

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).


✨ 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.

No prior experience? No problem! We provide everything:

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

✨ Design & Dangle – make it, wear it, love it

Let’s face it: a good pair of earrings can turn an ordinary day into something a little bit special. And when they’re handmade by you — from raw clay to shimmering silver — they don’t just accessorize, they tell a story.

Over two cosy, creative sessions, you’ll get your hands (and maybe your sleeves) into the world of ceramic jewellery. From soft slabs of clay to the final glint of a polished pearl, you’ll craft earrings that are uniquely, beautifully yours.

Session 1: Shape Your Style
We’ll start from the ground up — literally. In 2,5 hours You’ll explore different clay types, learn how to handle and shape them, and experiment with hand-building techniques like pinching and slab work. With guidance from our instructors, you’ll bring your ideas to life, refining each curve and contour until your designs feel just right.

Session 2: Fire, Finish & Flaunt
Two weeks later, when your pieces are fired, it’s time to add the magic. You’ll dive into jewellery assembly, learning how to pair your ceramic forms with silver findings and luminous pearls. Step by step, we’ll guide you through assembling and securing your pieces — ready to wear, gift, or show off with pride. This session is only 1 hour, giving you all the tools and parts that you need for assembly.

By the end, you’ll walk away with:

🌿 A pair (or two!) of one-of-a-kind ceramic earrings — handcrafted, glazed, and finished with pearls and silver.

💎 A new appreciation for the delicate dance between clay and jewellery design.

🔥 And maybe, a brand-new creative obsession.


Everything’s included: clay, tools, firings, glazes, pearls, silver findings — and expert guidance from ceramic artists of PIE.

This is a workshop for the curious, the creative, and anyone who loves to make something truly their own. No experience needed — just bring your hands, your ideas, and your spark.

It’s the perfect intro to ceramics: a little messy, a lot of fun, and totally satisfying. You’ll walk away with clay on your hands, colour on your plate, and a new skill (or obsession?) in the making.

🔥 After the event, we glaze and fire your piece for you.
It’ll be ready to pick up in about 4 weeks — food-safe and fabulous.
