From your first lump of clay to a wheel-thrown masterpiece (or three).

This beginner-friendly 4 weeks course is your deep-dive intro to the spinning, swirling, centering joy of the potter’s wheel — no experience needed, just curiosity and a willingness to get a little muddy.

Over four weeks, we’ll guide you step by step through the fundamentals of wheel throwing: from prepping your clay and finding your centre, to pulling up walls and refining your form. You’ll shape pieces like cups, small bowls or vases — and begin to develop your own rhythm and relationship with this meditative, tactile craft.

This course is perfect if you’ve always wanted to try the wheel — or if you’ve done a taster and now want to go deeper.

  • Personalised guidance in a small group setting
  • Techniques like wedging, centering, opening, pulling, shaping & trimming
  • Intro to decorating tools: carving, stamping, and adding attachments
  • The basics of glazing and finishing
  • Full access to our professional ceramics studio and tools
  • Time to explore, experiment and build confidence on the wheel

🧠 What You’ll Learn

  • How to prepare and centre clay on the wheel
  • The core techniques of throwing symmetrical forms
  • How to trim and refine your pieces once leather-hard
  • Surface design & decoration techniques to make your work your own
  • Basic glazing principles and studio workflows
  • Best practices for independent practice and next steps


🎁 What’s Included

  • All tools, materials, and clay
  • Use of studio equipment and your own wheel each session
  • Firing & glazing of your finished pieces
  • Safe storage of your works between sessions
  • Your handmade ceramics — ready for pickup approx. 4 weeks after the last class

All you need to bring is comfy clothes, tied-back hair, and a sense of adventure. We’ll provide aprons, towels — and of course, encouragement.

🤔 Is This Course Right for Me?

Absolutely. This course is ideal for:

  • Complete beginners with no wheel experience
  • Anyone who’s taken a taster and is ready to deepen their skills
  • Creatives looking for structure, flow, and personal growth at the wheel

Do I need to bring anything to the pottery course?

No, all you need to bring is yourself, a good mood and a desire to be creative.

Can I do the course with my friends?

Yes, of course. Making pottery together is even more fun.

Still water. Quiet thoughts. One very poetic brush.

In this atmospheric watercolor session, we’re painting more than just a lakeside view. Her Silent Reservoir is a calm, layered landscape that blurs the line between nature and emotion — a quiet lake nestled inside a woman’s silhouette, like a peaceful thought waiting to surface.

The mood is soft, slow, and a little mysterious — perfect for experimenting with loose washes, gentle gradients, and letting your brush do the feeling. Whether you see it as symbolic, surreal, or just really pretty, this piece is about holding space — for water, for silence, for yourself.

Tickets Eventdetails

Heavy Blossom. Petals in 3D. Spring you can almost touch.

Ever wanted to paint something so lush you feel like you could pluck it off the canvas? This is your moment.

In this semi-guided, textured acrylic session, you’ll create a dreamy cherry blossom branch in soft pink hues, set against a hazy pastel background. With modelling paste, you’ll build thick, velvety petals and a sturdy branch that practically pop out of the painting.
We’ll guide you in mixing tender tones, sculpting with your palette knife, and layering texture so the blossoms feel weighty, rich, and irresistibly touchable.

Perfect for beginners, texture lovers, and anyone who wants to bring a little springtime magic into their space — no matter the season.


✨ 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
  • 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.

Where vessels become sculpture – and clay becomes yours.

This is more than just a bowl or a vase. It’s a chance to slow down, shape with intention, and create a piece that’s both functional and deeply personal. In this immersive ceramics workshop, we’ll explore how vessels — cups, plates, teapots, decorative forms — can be both useful and sculptural.

With expert guidance, you’ll learn traditional hand-building techniques and how to push their boundaries — forming shapes that reflect not just what you need, but who you are. You’ll be encouraged to experiment with form, texture, and creative expression as you sculpt a piece that feels grounded, beautiful, and uniquely yours.

Once complete, your work will be glazed and fired — ready to collect in about 4 weeks.

Want to bring it to life with colour? Book a painting session and receive a special discount to decorate your own ceramic creation.

Whether you’re just beginning or looking to deepen your connection to clay, this workshop invites you to transform a simple object into a soulful sculpture — one you’ll be proud to use, display, and keep.

✨ How PIE Ceramics Workshops Work

Our ceramics workshops are one-off sessions designed for intensive skill-sharing in a relaxed, creative atmosphere. Whether you’re just starting your journey with clay or already have some experience and want to explore a new technique, this is the perfect chance to get your hands dirty, learn something new — and follow your creativity wherever it leads.

Each workshop focuses on a specific process or form, guided by a professional ceramic artist. You’ll learn the core technique step by step, then have space to experiment, personalise, and take your piece in whatever direction feels right to you. It’s structured, supportive, and creatively wide open.

Workshops take place in our cosy, fully-equipped studios in Zürich and Basel, where everything’s set up to support your creative flow — including materials, tools, good lighting, and good vibes.

No pressure, no perfection — just the joy of discovering what you can create with your own two hands.
