Catch the first light of day!
In this painting session, we’re greeting the dawn. Against a glowing horizon, you’ll paint fields of red flowers shimmering with morning dew, grasses touched by cool colours, and the rising sun just peeking through. With soft strokes and fresh tones, you’ll capture that fleeting moment when night turns into day.

Along the way, you’ll learn how to build soft, seamless colour gradients for a morning sky, and how to control transitions so they feel natural and atmospheric rather than harsh. We’ll also explore how to break down strong tube colours and refine them into muted, misty tones that match the softness of dawn light.

A special focus will be on creating textural floral elements using a professional tool: the palette knife – learning how to layer, shape, and add expressive texture to your foreground. You’ll also get an introduction to colour harmony and atmospheric colour mixing, helping you better understand how light, mood, and colour temperature work together in a landscape.

Crash. Curl. Colour. A wave comes alive on canvas.
In this semi-guided textured session, you’ll ride the swell — a giant wave rising from the sea, ready to tumble and curl. Using modelling paste and paint, you’ll build layers of frothy foam, dynamic water movement, and the energy of the ocean captured in bold, sculpted strokes. Think drama, texture, and a playful sense of motion in every crest and curl.

No experience needed — just a love for texture, colour, and a bit of creative adventure. You’ll leave with a tactile, vibrant seascape that’s bursting with energy, movement, and watery wonder.


✨ How PIE 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 — nothing overwhelming, just getting you comfortable and ready to play.

Then the fun really begins. You’ll be guided step by step through the painting process, with plenty of room to play, experiment, and make it your own. Sip your drink, enjoy the moment, and let the creativity flow.

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

Paint & Sip – PIE Guided Painting Event

from 80.– CHF

Up to 20% discount for Members

A wild abstract painting session full of colour, chaos, and satisfying texture.
Who needs brushes when you’ve got a spatula, a mountain of modelling paste, and a whole mood to express?
In this bold, all-in painting session, you’ll layer, swipe, and sculpt your way into pure colour play — no plan, no pressure, just bold marks and thick textures that practically stand off the canvas.

We’ll work point by point, swipe by swipe, building up vibrant patterns and punchy colour fields that shift as you move. It’s a little pointillist, a little sculptural, and totally freeing.
Expect music, mess, and moments of accidental brilliance. This one’s for anyone who’s ever wanted to stop thinking and just create.

More colour. More texture. More joy.
Bring the energy — we’ve got the paste.



✨ How PIE Semi-Guided Workshops Run
Ready for a painting session that gives you just the right mix of direction and freedom?
At our semi-guided workshops, you get 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.

Our artist guides 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.

She’s floating. She’s glowing. She’s not thinking about emails.
A sunset painting session where calm meets colour and a surfer silhouette steals the scene.
In this dreamy painting session, you’ll capture the soft magic of a golden-hour ocean — warm pink skies, calm waves, and one cool surfer girl gazing toward the light.

You’ll work with gentle blends, soft silhouettes, and glowing tones to build a peaceful-yet-bold composition. The result? A moment of stillness that radiates summer mood, cinematic calm, and salty confidence.

No pressure. No rules. Just a canvas, some colour, and a vibe you might want to live inside forever.

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.

Wheel-throwing Taster

Let’s spin!: A PIE Ceramics Workshop

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

Up to 20% discount for Members

🎡 Just curious? Even better.

This is your chance to dip a toe (or both hands!) into the wild, whirling world of the pottery wheel — no pressure, no experience needed. In this wheel-throwing taster workshop, you’ll learn how to center, pull, and shape clay like a true ceramic boss. 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.

✏️ What to Expect

  • A chill, beginner-friendly session led by our wheel-throwing wizards
  • Step-by-step intro to centering, pulling, and shaping on the wheel
  • Time to finesse your form and feel the clay do its thing
  • A playful, supportive vibe where mistakes are just part of the fun
  • All tools, clay, and good energy provided

🎁 What You’ll Take Home

  • One fired & glazed ceramic piece (included in the price — we’ll handle the rest)
  • The option to keep more pieces for CHF 15 each
  • The pure joy of creating something from spinning mud
  • A solid intro to wheel-throwing, and whether a full course is your next step

🧠 Who It’s For

  • Total newbies who’ve always wanted to try “that Ghost movie thing”
  • Hands-on creatives craving a screen-free adventure
  • Friends, dates, teams — anyone up for a shared spin
  • Future potters testing the waters before diving into a full course


📦 A Few More Things to Know

  • No need to bring anything – just wear something comfy you don’t mind getting a bit clay-kissed
  • Please arrive 10–15 minutes early to settle in
  • Firing and glazing takes 4 weeks – we’ll let you know when your piece is ready
  • Tickets are transferable, but non-refundable within 36 hours
