Urban sketching courses - creative and personalised

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 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.

Shape, scrape, and sculpt your way to bold abstract art.

Ready to swap your paintbrush for a palette knife? In this hands-on workshop, you’ll explore the satisfying world of textured geometric art, using Plaster of Paris and modelling paste to create bold, raised patterns that pop off the canvas.

You’ll sculpt shapes, lines, and forms using a variety of tools — think palette knives, scrapers, combs and your own hands (yes, really). Whether you go minimalist, maximalist, or somewhere in between, you’ll end up with a piece that’s as tactile as it is striking.

Two Ways to Finish:

👉 Option 1: Paint right away. You’ll apply less texture so it has time to dry, and jump straight into colour harmonisation during the session.
👉 Option 2: Focus fully on sculpting, then come back to the Creative Café on your own time to finish the painting part — no pressure, no rush, just good vibes and coffee.

You’ll Learn:

• How to build and layer textures using Plaster of Paris & modelling paste

a.k.a. Abstract Improvisation – let it flow, not fit.

This isn’t about “getting it right.”
This is about letting go, following your instinct, and making something raw, bold, weird, calming, chaotic — or all of the above.

In this intuitive abstract painting workshop, we swap technique for trust, and outcomes for play. No fixed subject, no rules — just a big canvas, a pile of tools, and your curiosity in the driver’s seat. Whether you leave with a masterpiece or a glorious mess, the point is: you showed up, you created, and you felt something.

We’ll set the mood with a specially curated playlist of meditative + emotionally expressive tracks, and you’ll get access to all the good stuff: rollers, brushes, spatulas, a protective suit (yes, really), and a generous 40 × 50 cm canvas to start. Want to go bigger? You can upgrade when booking – or decide on the spot.

Guidance is there if you want it — but your brush, your vibe, your call.

🎨 Canvas info:
✓ 40 × 50 cm included
→ 60 × 80 cm: + CHF 10
→ 80 × 100 cm: + CHF 30
→ 100 × 120 cm: + CHF 60

🎉 New Location! PIE Ceramics Basel – Opening Sept 1 at Spalenring 103 🎉

Spin some symmetry. Paint some peace. Glaze a plate. Repeat.

In this laid-back ceramic painting session, we’re diving into the satisfying world of mandalas — bold lines, meditative patterns, and shapes that just… click. You’ll be painting directly onto a ceramic plate, using flowing lines and repetitive forms to create your own calming masterpiece.

With guidance from our lovely instructors, you’ll learn how to map out your mandala, choose colours that pop (or soothe), and use ceramic glazes to bring your vision to life. No stress, no mistakes — just the joy of flow, focus, and symmetry on a plate that’ll last forever.

Zen garden? Overrated. Mandala plate? Nailed it.

✨ How PIE Events Work

You’ll be welcomed into our cozy, colourful studio, where creativity flows as easily as the drinks. Settle in, sip something tasty, and enjoy step-by-step guidance from our lovely instructors.

And here’s the twist: we’re painting it on ceramics.

In this special ceramic painting event, we’re turning everyday plates into mini-masterpieces. Sure, you can hand-paint a plate any time in our Creative Café – but this time, you’ll create something truly next level. With guidance, techniques, and a touch of wild inspiration, your piece will go from “cute” to captivating.

Fired, glazed, and designed to last – whether it hangs on your wall or holds your favourite slice of cake.

It’s painting, but with an edge. A little cooler. A little glossier. A whole lot more permanent.

No prior experience? No problem! We provide everything:

• A chill, friendly atmosphere

🥐 Artsy Brunch & Brushstrokes

We kick things off with a fresh croissant and your choice of hot drink or mimosa as you arrive — a little treat to ease into the creative mood. Settle in, sip, snack, and get ready to paint your heart out!

Then it’s time to get artsy: one of our lovely instructors will guide you through a relaxed, step-by-step painting session — fun, inspiring, and totally beginner-friendly.

🍳 What’s for Brunch?

After the painting session, we invite you to enjoy our brunch buffet — freshly prepared and full of delicious options to refuel your creative self:

• Açai bowl with granola
• Avocado toast with eggs
• Peanut butter & jam
• A selection of cheeses & cold cuts
• Vegan options available

And yes — a second drink is on us! Choose another coffee, tea, or mimosa to go with your meal.

If you’re in the mood for something more, smoothies, juices, and other drinks are available à la carte from our Creative Café.

Your plate. Your style. Your very first step into the world of ceramics.
MAKE IT XMASSY!

In this relaxed 2-hour event, you’ll get your hands into clay and create your own hand-built ceramic plate, tray or dish— complete with texture, colour, and all the personality you want to give it. Whether you’re going bold and bright or soft and simple, we’ll show you the way and cheer you on while you do it.

No experience? No problem.
We’ll guide you through each step — from rolling and shaping to painting your piece with vibrant underglaze coloursright 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.
