✨ Design & Dangle – make it, wear it, love it

Let’s face it: a statement piece of jewellery can turn an ordinary day into something special. And when they’re handmade by you — from raw clay to lively wearables — they don’t just accessorize, they tell a story.

Over two cosy, creative sessions, you’ll get your hands (and maybe your sleeves) into the world of ceramic jewellery. From soft slabs of clay to the final glint of a polished pearl, you’ll craft pendants and necklaces that are uniquely, beautifully yours.

Session 1: Shape Your Style
We’ll start from the ground up — literally. In 2,5 hours You’ll explore different clay types, learn how to handle and shape them, and experiment with hand-building techniques like pinching and slab work. With guidance from our instructors, you’ll bring your ideas to life, refining each curve and contour until your designs feel just right.

Session 2: Fire, Finish & Flaunt
Two weeks later, when your pieces are fired, it’s time to add the magic. You’ll dive into jewellery assembly, learning how to pair your ceramic forms with metal findings and luminous pearls. Step by step, we’ll guide you through assembling and securing your pieces — ready to wear, gift, or show off with pride. This session is only 1 hour, giving you all the tools and parts that you need for assembly.

By the end, you’ll walk away with:

🌿 A pair (or two!) of one-of-a-kind ceramic jewellery — handcrafted, glazed, and finished wearables.

💎 A new appreciation for the delicate dance between clay and jewellery design.

🔥 And maybe, a brand-new creative obsession.


Everything’s included: clay, tools, firings, glazes, pearls, metal findings — and expert guidance from ceramic artists of PIE.

This is a workshop for the curious, the creative, and anyone who loves to make something truly their own. No experience needed — just bring your hands, your ideas, and your spark.

It’s the perfect intro to ceramics: a little messy, a lot of fun, and totally satisfying. You’ll walk away with clay on your hands, colour on your plate, and a new skill (or obsession?) in the making.

🔥 After the event, we glaze and fire your piece for you.
It’ll be ready to pick up in about 4 weeks — food-safe and fabulous.


✨ 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.

We’ll guide you step by step — from forming and texturing the clay to decorating your surface with underglaze colours and cut-out designs. You’ll learn hand-building techniques like pinching or slab work, creating a piece that’s both functional and full of personality.

Once fired and glazed, your candle holder will be ready to fill your home with warmth, shadow, and handmade charm.

You’ll walk away with:
🌿 A unique ceramic candle holder — hand-shaped, decorated, and fired for you.
💎 A relaxing experience with clay and a new creative skill to light up your home.
🔥 And maybe — a new passion for slow, mindful making.

Everything’s included: clay, tools, glazes, firings, and expert guidance from the ceramic artists of PIE.

No experience needed — just come as you are, ready to create, unwind, and make something that glows with a little of your own light.

After the event, we’ll glaze and fire your piece. It’ll be ready to pick up in about 4 weeks — your own little ceramic time capsule, made with love.

No. With the right instructions, anyone can learn to make pottery - all you need is a little patience ... and some clay under your fingernails.

The hand assembly is ideal for beginners, while the potter's wheel is for those who want to challenge themselves.

Brushes out, vibes on — we’re heading to Monet’s garden.

In this vibrant acrylic session, we’ll dive headfirst into the iconic world of Claude Monet’s water lilies — minus the stuffy museum voice. Think soft petals, bold colour, dreamy reflections and the kind of loose, expressive brushwork that lets you paint what you feel, not just what you see.

Paint like Vincent...
Some skies are calm. This one is electric — spinning with stars, streaked with midnight blue, and pulsing with van Gogh’s restless, brilliant energy.

In this vivid, feel-everything painting session, you’ll step into the swirl and create your own version of the world’s most famous night. Deep blues, bright yellows, bold strokes — it’s less about getting it “right” and more about letting the movement take over.

It’s dreamy. It’s a little dramatic. It’s the kind of sky that makes you want to pick up a brush and not come back down.

✨ Design & Dangle – make it, wear it, love it

Let’s face it: a statement piece of jewellery can turn an ordinary day into something special. And when they’re handmade by you — from raw clay to lively wearables — they don’t just accessorize, they tell a story.

Over two cosy, creative sessions, you’ll get your hands (and maybe your sleeves) into the world of ceramic jewellery. From soft slabs of clay to the final glint of a polished pearl, you’ll craft pendants and necklaces that are uniquely, beautifully yours.

Session 1: Shape Your Style
We’ll start from the ground up — literally. In 2,5 hours You’ll explore different clay types, learn how to handle and shape them, and experiment with hand-building techniques like pinching and slab work. With guidance from our instructors, you’ll bring your ideas to life, refining each curve and contour until your designs feel just right.

Session 2: Fire, Finish & Flaunt
Two weeks later, when your pieces are fired, it’s time to add the magic. You’ll dive into jewellery assembly, learning how to pair your ceramic forms with metal findings and luminous pearls. Step by step, we’ll guide you through assembling and securing your pieces — ready to wear, gift, or show off with pride. This session is only 1 hour, giving you all the tools and parts that you need for assembly.

By the end, you’ll walk away with:

🌿 A pair (or two!) of one-of-a-kind ceramic jewellery — handcrafted, glazed, and finished wearables.

💎 A new appreciation for the delicate dance between clay and jewellery design.

🔥 And maybe, a brand-new creative obsession.


Everything’s included: clay, tools, firings, glazes, pearls, metal findings — and expert guidance from ceramic artists of PIE.

This is a workshop for the curious, the creative, and anyone who loves to make something truly their own. No experience needed — just bring your hands, your ideas, and your spark.

It’s the perfect intro to ceramics: a little messy, a lot of fun, and totally satisfying. You’ll walk away with clay on your hands, colour on your plate, and a new skill (or obsession?) in the making.

🔥 After the event, we glaze and fire your piece for you.
It’ll be ready to pick up in about 4 weeks — food-safe and fabulous.


✨ 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.
