- 2.5 Stunden
Up to 20% discount for Members
Let your brush wander. Let the colours bloom.
Inspired by the romantic, nature-rich world of Morris Williams, this laid-back painting session celebrates the quiet strength and timeless beauty of flowers — especially the bold, brilliant marigold.
In this hands-on ceramic painting event, you’ll create your own floral scene on a ceramic plate using layered glazes, free-flowing brushwork, and a splash of personal flair. Think poppies, petals, patterns — or your own dreamy twist.
No experience? No worries. We’ll guide you step by step, while still leaving space for you to experiment, loosen up, and find your own rhythm.
Go bold with reds, soft with pastels, or wild with colour — your plate is yours to play with.
And yes, it’s fully usable and ready to shine on your wall, shelf, or breakfast table.
No stress, no rules. Just flowers, flow, and a little bit of magic.

Sculpt the View: A PIE Workshop
- Workshop
- Beginner
- PIE Basel
- 3 hours
Up to 20% discount for Members
Sculpt. Shape. Sunbathe. A beach day on canvas.
In this textured art workshop, 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 Workshops Work
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:
• 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.
