Fleurida

Paint & Sip – PIE Guided Painting Event

  • PIE Event
  • Beginner
  • PIE Basel
  • 2.5 Hours
from 69.– CHF

Up to 20% discount for Members

This painting session is a love letter, not a likeness. Inspired by Frida Kahlo but never copying her outright, Fleurida blooms somewhere between portrait and feeling. A face emerges through heat and color, crowned with wild, abstract florals so lush they quietly steal the gaze — even the eyes stay just out of reach.

You’ll work with unapologetically vibrant, South American–inspired colors: sun-warmed reds, tropical greens, electric pinks, deep blues. The flowers are expressive and loose, more emotion than anatomy, layered boldly to create warmth, rhythm, and presence.

This isn’t about precision or perfection. It’s about confidence, color, and letting intuition lead the brush. No experience needed — just a willingness to paint boldly, embrace imperfection, and let the flowers speak louder than the lines.

Not a portrait.
Not a replica.
A tribute in full bloom. 🌺

Paint & Sip – PIE Abstract Painting Event

Abstract art. No rules.

Time to throw perfection out the window and lean into the mess. In this semi-guided abstract session, we’re mixing bold colours, big moves. You’ll play with layering, texture, and all kinds of expressive techniques until your canvas screams: “Yeah, I meant to do that.”
It’s not about knowing what you’re doing — it’s about trusting your creative gut and having a damn good time doing it.



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.

No prior experience? No problem! We provide everything:

  • A chill, friendly atmosphere
  • All the necessary art supplies
  • Pre-prepared templates

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.

Textures of Nature: Thick waves, thin shade

Paint & Sip – PIE Guided Painting Event

  • PIE Event
  • Beginner

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.

Bloom, breathe & paint the promise of spring in the verge of winter

Step into van Gogh’s softer side — delicate branches, sky-blue serenity, and blossoms bursting with quiet joy. Almond Blossom is more than a painting; it’s a love letter to new beginnings, painted with tenderness and hope.

In this session, you’ll learn to layer soft blues, whites, and greens, capturing that light, airy feel that makes this masterpiece so timeless. Gentle brushstrokes, a calm mind, and a heart full of colour — that’s all you need.

Fleurida

Paint & Sip – PIE Guided Painting Event

  • PIE Event
  • Beginner
  • PIE Basel
  • 2.5 Hours
from 69.– CHF

Up to 20% discount for Members

This painting session is a love letter, not a likeness. Inspired by Frida Kahlo but never copying her outright, Fleurida blooms somewhere between portrait and feeling. A face emerges through heat and color, crowned with wild, abstract florals so lush they quietly steal the gaze — even the eyes stay just out of reach.

You’ll work with unapologetically vibrant, South American–inspired colors: sun-warmed reds, tropical greens, electric pinks, deep blues. The flowers are expressive and loose, more emotion than anatomy, layered boldly to create warmth, rhythm, and presence.

This isn’t about precision or perfection. It’s about confidence, color, and letting intuition lead the brush. No experience needed — just a willingness to paint boldly, embrace imperfection, and let the flowers speak louder than the lines.

Not a portrait.
Not a replica.
A tribute in full bloom. 🌺

Abstract art. No rules.

Time to throw perfection out the window and lean into the mess. In this semi-guided abstract session, we’re mixing bold colours, big moves. You’ll play with layering, texture, and all kinds of expressive techniques until your canvas screams: “Yeah, I meant to do that.”
It’s not about knowing what you’re doing — it’s about trusting your creative gut and having a damn good time doing it.

Pouring Acrylics (Tree Ring, Flip Cup)

  • Workshop
  • Beginner
  • PIE Classroom Zürich
  • 3 Hours
from 110.– CHF

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: Tree Ring and Flip Cup.

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.


🥂 A Toast to Creativity*
We kick off every workshop with a complimentary welcome drink — the perfect way to settle in, connect with fellow creatives, and get inspired. Choose from:

No rules, no pressure — just pure expression. Our artists will guide you through techniques of action painting, layering, and movement so you can let go and enjoy the process.

This is more than fun — it’s liberating. Action painting is known to reduce stress, spark creativity, and leave you with a unique artwork that’s as wild as the process itself.

Paint & BRUNCH: Gilded Instinct

PIE Guided Painting Event with Brunch

  • PIE Event
  • Beginner
  • PIE Zürich
  • 3 hours
from 105.– CHF

Up to 20% discount for Members

Trust the chaos — and add gold.

In this relaxed, expressive session, you’ll create your own bold-yet-beautiful abstract piece using rich emerald greens, soft whites, and shimmering gold. With real gold leaf on the table, your artwork will catch the light in all the right ways — no two pieces alike.

There’s no final image to copy, no pressure to get it “right” — just flow, instinct, and colour. Layer shapes, play with contrast, and let your brush do what it wants. Whether you create calm minimalism or a textured explosion, this is all about letting go and glowing up.

Get into the zone. Take your time. And trust the process — it’s called Gilded Instinct for a reason.

✨ How the Event Works
Treat yourself to a creative experience, where you can unwind, sip & snack, and have fun with your friends — or make new ones — as you paint and craft your way through a feel-good session led by our lovely local artists.

Most of our events take place in our beautiful, cozy studios — full of color, good vibes, and a warm, artistic atmosphere. Occasionally, we also pop up in local bars, restaurants, or outdoor locations during the sunny season.

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

All you need to bring is your good vibes and curiosity! Whether you’re painting or getting crafty, you’ll leave with your own unique creation and plenty of great memories.

🥐 Artsy Brunch & Brushstrokes
We kick things off with a fresh croissant and your choice of hot drink or mimosa as you arrive — a little treat to ease into the creative mood. 

🍳 What’s for Brunch?
Before the painting session, we invite you to enjoy our brunch buffet — freshly prepared and full of delicious options to refuel your creative self:

  • Avocado toast with medium boiled eggs
  •  Açaí Bowl with Granola
  • Butterzopf with peanut butter, jams & spreads
  • Cheese

And yes — a second drink is on us! Choose another coffee, tea, or mimosa to go with your meal.

After the brunch, get ready to paint your heart out! One of our lovely instructors will guide you through a relaxed, step-by-step painting session — fun, inspiring, and totally beginner-friendly.

Make & Wear: Ceramic Earrings

Shape & Fun: PIE Ceramics Event

  • PIE Event
  • Beginner
  • PIE Ceramics Basel
  • 2 hours
from 85.– CHF

Up to 20% discount for Members

✨ 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
Few 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 counter parts. Step by step, we’ll guide you through assembling and securing your pieces — ready to wear, gift, or show off with pride. This session you can book on our website:

https://paintiteasy.ch/ceramic-painting-studio-bas... 

You will be given all the tools and parts that you need for assembly, with an introduction to these tools and you can assemble your wearables, and take them home ready to be worn.


By the end, you’ll walk away with:

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

💎 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.

✨ How PIE Ceramics Events Work

Each event is led by one of our friendly ceramic artists, who’ll guide you step-by-step through shaping and decorating your piece. No pressure, no perfection — just good vibes, creative flow, and the joy of getting your hands dirty in the best possible way.
