What is a PIE workshop?
Imagine a Paint It Easy event - but with more time, more technique and more depth. Our creative workshops in Zurich or Basel last around three to four hours and give you the opportunity to familiarise yourself intensively with a specific painting technique or ceramic project. All participants work with the same method, but implement it individually. Ideal for anyone who wants to do more than just wield a paintbrush and would like to delve deeper.

Pouring Acrylics (Dutch Pour, Kiss Pour)
Pour. Tilt. Wow – A PIE Workshop
- Workshop

- PIE Classroom Zürich
- 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.

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.

- 3 hours
Up to 20% discount for Members
Splash. Drip. Splatter. Total freedom.
The perfect stress release after a tense week.
In this action painting session, you’ll suit up in full-body protective overalls, grab your colours, and step into a space designed for making a glorious mess. Channel your inner Pollock as you throw, pour, drip, and smear paint with energy and spontaneity.
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.
