Landscapes? More like dreamscapes. Let’s get surreal.

Ready to paint something that looks like it came straight out of your imagination? In this guided session, we’ll ditch the ordinary and explore dreamy, surreal landscapes using acrylic paint, sponge, palette knife, and a good dose of creative courage.

Think shifting skies, floating hills, glowing colours, unexpected shapes — this is where rules melt and intuition takes the lead. Whether your dreamworld is calm and misty or wild and cosmic, we’ll help you bring it to life on canvas.

This isn’t about painting what’s “real” — it’s about painting what feels real to you.

Too round. Too fabulous. Just right.

Forget the rules of realism — we’re painting a plump, proudly queer bird who’s all fluff, all colour, and absolutely thriving.

In this light-hearted, joy-filled session, you’ll create your own version of our rainbow-feathered, unapologetically inflated friend, perched on a branch and just vibing. We’ll play with colour, texture, and pure personality — because this bird is not here to blend in.

No pressure, no judgment, just round little wings, big self-love energy, and maybe a hint of glitter (emotionally, if not literally).

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

🥂 Sip & Spin

You’ll be welcomed with a free drink of your choice — prosecco, wine, beer, tea, coffee or our Cocktail of the Week🍸
