Spin it. Shape it. Love the wonky bits.

Ever dreamed of making your own cup or bowl 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.

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.

    → Or glaze it yourself in our Creative Café for CHF 20 — walk in or reserve a table during opening hours

Spinning Beginnings: First Steps on the Potter‘s Wheel

From lump to lovely: A PIE Ceramics Course

  • Multi-day Course
  • Beginner
  • PIE Ceramics Zürich
  • 4 x 3 Hours
from 440.– CHF

Up to 20% discount for Members

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.


✏️ What to Expect

  • Weekly classes with hands-on instruction and demos
  • 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

Spin it. Shape it. Love the wonky bits.

Ever dreamed of making your own cup or bowl 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.

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.

Action Painting, Neon Edition

Guided Expressive Abstract Art Workshop

  • Workshop
  • Beginner
  • ZÜRICH · PIE Action Painting Park
  • 2.5 hours
from 60.– CHF

Up to 20% discount for Members

Splash. Drip. Splatter. Then… Glow.


Looking for a creative experience that’s energetic, expressive and unlike anything you’ve tried before?

Our Neon Action Painting Workshop combines the excitement of Action Painting with the magic of fluorescent colours and UV light, creating artworks that transform before your eyes.

After a short introduction, your artist will guide the group through a series of Action Painting techniques while introducing the artistic principles behind creating a balanced abstract composition. You’ll explore colour relationships, layering, movement, texture and composition, gradually developing your own artwork over approximately two hours. Rather than recreating a predefined motif, every splash, brushstroke and creative decision becomes the starting point for what comes next.

Action Painting is an intuitive creative journey. Your painting evolves through a continuous process of acting, observing and reacting, allowing your composition to grow naturally layer by layer. Throughout the workshop you’ll experiment with acrylic paints, palette knives, bottles, rollers and a wide variety of creative tools while your artist demonstrates techniques, shares artistic guidance and encourages you to discover your own visual language.

Then, halfway through the workshop, everything changes.

The lights go out, the UV lights come on, and your artwork transforms before your eyes. You’ll continue painting with fluorescent colours and glowing accents, discovering how your composition comes alive under blacklight. Colours become more vibrant, textures reveal new dimensions, and your painting takes on an entirely different character.

No two artworks will ever look alike. While everyone explores the same artistic principles together, every participant follows their own creative journey, discovering a unique balance between spontaneity and intention.

Whether you’re looking to switch off after a busy week, enjoy a memorable evening with friends or simply experience painting in a completely different way, the Neon Action Painting Workshop offers the perfect mix of artistic guidance, creative freedom and unforgettable visual effects.

You’ll leave with a one-of-a-kind artwork that looks stunning in daylight—and even more spectacular under UV light.

This bird isn’t just perched — it’s posing.
A bold, textured bird portrait with creamy layers, colour, and character. In this vibrant painting session, we’re giving the great tit a full-on glamour moment: thick, sculpted strokes, glossy feathers you can almost touch, and a background in unapologetic pink.

You’ll work with modelling paste and rich acrylics to build a portrait that’s part painting, part sculpture — playing with light, shadow, and feather detail until your bird is brimming with personality.
It’s tactile, it’s joyful, and it’s a little bit fabulous.

  • 2.5 Hours
from 70.– CHF

Up to 20% discount for Members

Bright mountains, a shimmering lake, and light that feels almost alive.
Step into a radiant alpine world where the air is crystal clear and colours glow with a quiet, powerful intensity. Inspired by the luminous spirit and rhythmic compositions of Ferdinand Hodler, we’ll step into his footsteps and explore how to build a landscape through expressive brushwork and layered painting.

In this session, you’ll learn how to create depth and perspective in a landscape — how distant peaks, water, and sky can unfold through colour, contrast, and structure. We’ll explore how to bring dynamic, energetic detail into the brushwork while still holding the whole composition together as a unified, harmonious scene.

We’ll guide you through shimmering water, luminous layering techniques, and the gentle geometry of alpine peaks. You bring your curiosity and calm focus — and a willingness to enter a landscape that feels slightly brighter, more alive, and more structured than reality itself.

Maybe someone lives here.
Maybe they used to.
Maybe it was you.
It’s the kind of place that doesn’t ask questions. You stop in front of it without meaning to, caught between arriving and remembering. The day is warm, but the thoughts are cooler — the kind that show up when you stand still long enough.

Nothing is certain except the feeling that something happened here. A routine, a return, a moment you didn’t think you’d miss. The house keeps it to itself. You keep the rest.
This painting isn’t about a house — it’s about what stays with us, long after we’ve moved on.

Abstract Series: Chromatic Medley

Guided Acrylic Painting Workshop

  • Workshop
  • Beginner
  • PIE Creative Café Zürich
  • 2.5 Hours
from 70.– CHF

Up to 20% discount for Members

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. After feeding you with some of the coolest inspiration from contemporary abstract painting, 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 Workshops Run
You arrive, take a breath, pick your welcome drink and settle into your spot at the table where the magic will happen. We start on time, so make sure you`re there and ready to dive in.

Next, your instructor takes the stage, giving you a quick, easy intro to the materials — 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.

Then the fun really begins. Our instructors 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.

At the end, we bring everyone together for a group photo — your finished piece, great vibes.

from 60.– CHF

Up to 20% discount for Members

Splash. Drip. Splatter. Total Freedom.

Looking for a creative experience that’s energetic, expressive and completely different from traditional painting?

Our Action Painting Workshop combines the excitement of throwing, dripping and splashing paint with the artistic principles behind creating a powerful abstract artwork.

After a short introduction, your instructor will guide the group through a series of Action Painting techniques while explaining how abstract paintings are built through composition, layering, colour relationships and texture. Rather than recreating a predefined motif, you’ll gradually develop your own artwork over approximately two hours, allowing every splash, brushstroke and creative decision to influence what comes next.

Action Painting is an intuitive journey. Every mark on the canvas becomes the starting point for the next, creating a continuous process of acting, observing and reacting. Along the way, you’ll experiment with a wide variety of paints, tools and creative techniques while your instructor shares demonstrations, artistic guidance and individual feedback whenever you need it.

No two paintings will ever look alike. While everyone explores the same techniques together, each participant follows their own creative path, discovering their own balance between spontaneity and intention.

Whether you’re looking to switch off after a busy week, reconnect with your creativity or simply experience painting in a completely different way, Action Painting offers the freedom to experiment while giving you the artistic guidance to turn expressive marks into a finished abstract composition.

You’ll leave not only with a unique artwork, but with a deeper understanding of how abstract paintings evolve—and the confidence to trust your own creative instincts.

Surface Art: Sgraffito

Unveiling Hidden Depths: a PIE Ceramic Workshop

  • Workshop
  • Beginner
  • PIE Ceramics Zürich
  • 2.5 hours
from 95.– CHF

Up to 20% discount for Members

Scratch beneath the surface — and reveal something beautiful.

Sgraffito — from the Italian “to scratch” — is a decorative ceramics technique that’s all about revealing contrast, pattern, and surprise. In this inspiring 3-hour workshop, you’ll learn how to turn a simple slab of clay into a stunning ceramic plate using this ancient and captivating method.

We’ll start by rolling and shaping your plate by hand, then applying a layer of coloured slip (liquid clay). Once that’s set, the real magic begins — you’ll carve into the surface to create your own design, revealing the clay underneath in bold lines, fine textures, or whatever shapes your imagination leads you to. No drawing skills needed — just a sense of curiosity and a love of detail.

You’ll be guided every step of the way in a relaxed and welcoming studio atmosphere. From the first press of clay to the final scratch of your carving tool, you’ll explore the sgraffito process with hands-on support, plenty of encouragement, and a glass of something refreshing in hand — your choice of wine, tea, prosecco, or something non-alcoholic to sip as you shape.

After the session, we’ll take care of glazing and firing your piece. Your finished sgraffito plate will be ready for pickup in about 4 weeks. One plate is included in the price — if you’re inspired to make more, you can simply pay for extra materials on the spot.

This workshop is perfect for anyone looking to 
slow down, scratch beneath the surface, and uncover something beautifully their own.

✨ 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.

🏺 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)
  • A welcoming and inspiring studio space to explore ceramics at your own pace

    → Join a glazing workshop at a discounted price
    → Or glaze it yourself in our Creative Café for CHF 20 — walk in or reserve a table during opening hours

🔥 Firing & Pickup

We take care of firing and glazing your ceramic piece after the workshop.
Firing takes approx. 4 weeks – we’ll contact you when your piece is ready for pickup.

It’s messy, magical, and way more satisfying than your average Saturday scroll session.

You’ll get hands-on with the basics of wheel-throwing — and walk away with at least one piece to call your own. Plus, you’ll leave knowing whether this hobby is a fling or the beginning of a full-blown love affair.

No experience necessary. Just bring your curiosity — we’ll handle the spin cycle.

Spin it. Shape it. Love the wonky bits.

Ever dreamed of making your own cup or bowl on the pottery wheel? This is your moment to try – no pressure, no perfection, just you, the clay, and the magic of Wabi-Sabi.
