Your First Cup on the Wheel: Embracing Wabi-Sabi
Shape & Fun: PIE Ceramics Event
- PIE Event
- Beginner
- PIE Zürich
- 2.5 hours
Up to 20% discount for Members
Spin it. Shape it. Love the wonky bits.
Ever dreamed of making your own cup on the pottery wheel? This is your moment to try – no pressure, no perfection, just you, the clay, and the magic of Wabi-Sabi.
In this relaxed, beginner-friendly event, you’ll learn the basics of wheel throwing, how to center the clay, and how to pull up your very first form – maybe a cup, maybe something totally unexpected (and that’s perfectly okay).
We’ll embrace wobbles, curves, and character, celebrating the Japanese art of Wabi-Sabi – finding beauty in imperfection and joy in the process, not just the result.
No experience? No problem. You’ll leave with a piece that’s 100% yours – shaped by your hands and full of personality.
✨ How PIE Ceramics Events Work
Treat yourself to a hands-on creative moment — where you can sip, snack, and sculpt your way through a fun and relaxing ceramics session. Whether you come solo, with friends, or for a team night out, you’ll enjoy a feel-good atmosphere, great company, and your very own ceramic creation to take home (well… after it’s been fired 😉).
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.
Most of our events take place in our beautiful, cosy studios in Zürich and Basel — fully equipped, full of charm, and designed to spark your imagination. Every now and then, we also pop up in partner venues like bars, cafés, or sunny outdoor locations.
🏺 What’s Included
- All tools, materials, and clay
- Personal guidance from an experienced ceramic instructor
- One piece included for firing and glazing (extras optional for a small fee)

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.

- Full access to our professional ceramics studio and tools
- Time to explore, experiment and build confidence on the wheel
🧠 What You’ll Learn

- 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

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
If you’re more experienced, you may want to explore our intermediate courses or ongoing Studio Classes to continue developing your style.
