✨ Design & Dangle – make it, wear it, love it
Let’s face it: a good pair of earrings can turn an ordinary day into something a little bit special. And when they’re handmade by you — from raw clay to shimmering silver — 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 earrings 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.
You can create several pairs of earrings in this workshop, we provide metal parts for 3 pairs.
Session 2: Fire, Finish & Flaunt
Few 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 silver findings and counter parts. Step by step, we’ll guide you through assembling and securing your pieces — ready to wear, gift, or show off with pride. This session you can book on our website:
https://paintiteasy.ch/creative-cafe-zuerich/
You will be given all the tools and parts that you need for assembly, with an introduction to these tools and you can assemble your wearables, and take them home ready to be worn.
By the end, you’ll walk away with:
🌿 A pair (or two!) of one-of-a-kind ceramic earrings — handcrafted, glazed, and finished.
💎 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, silver 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.

🧈 Butter Me Up – spread a little joy
Let’s be honest: here in Switzerland, butter isn’t just food, it’s a way of life. From crusty Sunday Zopf to everyday sandwiches, that golden block deserves more than the foil it comes in. That’s why a butter dish isn’t just pottery — it’s tradition, it’s table culture, and it’s a little daily ritual of beauty.
In this cosy 2.5-hour workshop, you’ll get hands-on with clay to craft your own hand-built butter dish — practical, beautiful, and uniquely yours.
You’ll shape and decorate your dish just the way you like, so every breakfast feels a touch more special, with Swiss charm built right in.
No experience? No problem.
We’ll guide you through each step — from rolling and shaping to painting your piece with blue underglaze decals right on the spot.
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.

Beautifully Textured Surfaces
Carved Elegance: a PIE Ceramic Workshop
- Workshop
- Beginner
- PIE Ceramics Zürich
- 2.5 hours
Up to 20% discount for Members
Shape it. Press it. Pattern it. Fall in love with the feel of clay.
In this tactile ceramics workshop, it’s all about the surface — how it feels, how it catches the light, how it tells a story. You’ll hand-build a functional or decorative ceramic piece (think bowl, plate, or something sculptural), and explore how to make its surface uniquely yours through texture and pattern.
Under the step-by-step guidance of our instructor, you’ll learn how to form your base shape and then experiment with different techniques: imprinting, carving, stamping, layering — and of course, a bit of freestyle play.
There’ll be inspiration all around, and plenty of space to explore your own style.
🎨 Want to add colour later? You’ll receive a discount to join one of our painting sessions and glaze your own handmade object.
🔥 After the workshop, we’ll glaze and fire your piece. It’ll be ready for pickup in approx. 4 weeks — textured, finished, and totally one of a kind.
Whether you’re new to clay or already hooked, this is a perfect workshop to get your hands moving and your creativity flowing — one surface at a time.
Some of our workshops may be held in English depending on the instructor 😊 We really appreciate your openness and flexibility!
✨ 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.
