Watercolor: light, flowing, and sometimes… totally unpredictable.
That’s exactly what makes it so exciting.

In this 4-week course, you’ll explore the basics of painting with watercolor — one of the most loved (and sometimes feared) mediums in the art world. Whether you’re continuing your journey after our Acrylics course or jumping straight into watercolors for the first time, this course is designed to help you understand the medium and feel in control while still embracing its natural, fluid beauty.

You’ll learn essential watercolor techniques like wet-on-wet, wet-on-dry, layering, glazing, and lifting. You’ll discover how to balance control with flow, how to build vibrant layers without overworking your painting, and how to let the water do part of the magic for you.

By the end, you’ll have the skills to start painting with confidence — and a whole new appreciation for this playful, flowing medium.

Heavy Blossom

Paint & Sip – PIE Guided Painting Event

Workshop
Beginner
PIE Action Painting Studio Basel
2.5 hours

from 75.– CHF

Up to 20% discount for Members

Tickets Eventdetails

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 semi-guided, 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.

✨ How PIE Semi-Guided 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 — 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.

Then the fun really begins. Our instructors 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.

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

No prior experience? No problem! We provide everything:

A chill, friendly atmosphere
All the necessary art supplies
Pre-prepared templates
Step-by-step guidance from our instructors

All you need to bring is your good vibes and curiosity! We’ll take care of the rest — starting with a complimentary welcome drink 🥂 to spark your creativity.

🖼️ Canvas Size & Upgrades
Your ticket includes a 30 x 40 cm canvas, which you can upgrade to a larger one (40x50cm) or even a round one (Ø 40 cm) - just choose the option when booking your ticket, or decide spontaneously at the workshop.

💞 Painting in Pairs? Yess, please!
Couples, besties, or family duos — this one’s for you:
You can choose to paint in pairs, where two canvases become one artwork. The theme is split in two, and each of you paints one half that aligns perfectly with the other.
If your`re interested in painting in pairs, just ask our artists on the spot whether your chosen theme is a good fit — they’ll guide you and set you up!

Tickets Eventdetails

Splash. Drip. Splatter. Total freedom.
The perfect stress release after a tense week.

In this action painting session, you’ll suit up in full-body protective overalls, grab your colours, and step into a space designed for making a glorious mess. Channel your inner Pollock as you throw, pour, drip, and smear paint with energy and spontaneity.

But this experience can be as wild — or as introspective — as you want it to be.

Beyond the action, this workshop also opens the door to intuitive painting: a space to slow down, tune in, and connect with your inner landscape. Through a short but meaningful introduction to colour theory, you’ll explore how thoughts and emotions can be translated into colour, movement, and form.

You’ll experiment with layering, different tools, and a wide range of mark-making techniques — from bold, expressive gestures to more subtle, intentional strokes. Throwing paint is just one of many possibilities — you choose where to place your focus.

No rules, no pressure — just pure expression, guided by our artists who support your individual approach and meet you where you are.

This is more than fun — it’s liberating. You’ll leave not only with a unique artwork, but with new ways to express yourself, release tension, and tap into your creativity — on and off the canvas.

✨ How PIE Action Painting Workshops Run
You arrive, take a breath, pick your welcome drink — and instead of sitting down, you step into it. You’ll get your protective overalls, switch into painting mode, and get ready to let go a little. 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 and tools — showing you what’s possible, how to move, splash, layer, and play. Nothing overwhelming, just getting you comfortable and ready to experiment.

Then the fun really begins. You’ll explore layering, different tools, and a wide range of mark-making techniques. The space is yours to explore: move between the splashing area, where you can let loose, and the refining area, where you can slow things down and shape your piece. Throughout the session, your instructor is there to guide you with personal tips and support.

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

No prior experience? No problem! We provide everything*:

A chill, friendly atmosphere
All the necessary art supplies
Full-body overalls and shoe protection
A mix of demonstration & individual guidance

* We provide protective overalls, but we highly recommend not wearing your favourite or most expensive clothes, as paint may still seep through. Please also bring a pair of socks that you don’t mind getting paint on or wet.

Arrival: Please arrive 10 minutes early to grab your drink and settle in.
Cancellations: Tickets are transferable but non-refundable within 36 hours. You can reschedule your spot up to 72 hours before the workshop.
Alcohol: Served only to guests aged 18+.

Sail-la-Vie: An Impression of Sunset Shenanigans

Tickets Eventdetails

Sunset? Set Sail.
Somewhere between day and night, colour and calm, there’s a moment where everything just glows. That’s what we’re capturing in this impressionist-inspired painting session — a sailboat drifting into golden hour, two figures silhouetted against a sky that forgot how to be subtle.

But this time, it’s all about how we paint it. Inspired by impressionist techniques, you’ll work with hundreds — even thousands — of small, expressive brushstrokes that come together to form a rich, vibrant whole. Up close, it’s texture, rhythm, and movement; from a distance, it all blends into a luminous, atmospheric scene.

We’ll guide you in building layers, balancing warm and cool tones, and composing a scene that feels both complex and harmonious. It’s a process of patience and intuition — letting each small mark play its role in something much bigger.
No heavy blending, no overworking — just colour, light, and the quiet magic of many small strokes coming together into one glowing, unforgettable piece.

✨ 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.

Sip, swirl, and let it sparkle.
Two cocktails, clinking in the glow of summer — olives, cherries, lemon slices, and colours that feel like golden hour in a glass.

In this vibrant acrylic session, you’ll paint a playful, elegant scene full of juicy tones and light-filled reflections. Think loose, expressive brushstrokes, fresh colour combinations, and that glossy shimmer of glass catching the light.

Slow down. Drift in. Find your quiet place.
A still lake nestled between mountains, soft reflections on the water, and a lone boat gently floating — like a traveller pausing for a moment of calm.

In this watercolour session, we’ll build a serene landscape through soft layers and subtle transitions. Think delicate washes, fading mountain silhouettes, and reflections that blur the line between water and sky.

We’ll explore how to create depth through atmospheric perspective and play with pigment intensity to let elements come forward or quietly fall back. It’s a peaceful, meditative process — where less becomes more, and every layer adds a sense of space.
Gentle, spacious, and grounding — a painting that invites you to breathe a little slower.

Where the land meets the sea — wild, windswept, and quietly breathtaking.
In this painting session, we travel to the coast of Cornwall: a glowing cyan-blue horizon stretching into the distance, rugged grey rocks shaping the shoreline, and a soft, flower-filled field in the foreground. A winding path leads the eye gently down towards the sea, inviting you into the landscape.

This piece is all about depth and perspective — how to guide the viewer through your painting and create a real sense of space. You’ll explore different ways of building distance: using scale, layering, colour shifts, and atmospheric softness to push elements back or bring them forward.

From the delicate details of the flowers in the foreground to the calm, open horizon, you’ll learn how each part of the composition plays a role in creating balance and movement. Step by step, your landscape will unfold into a scene that feels expansive, immersive, and full of quiet coastal energy.

Tickets Eventdetails

Where vessels become sculpture – and clay becomes yours.

This is more than just a bowl or a vase. It’s a chance to slow down, shape with intention, and create a piece that’s both functional and deeply personal. In this immersive ceramics workshop, we’ll explore how vessels — cups, plates, teapots, decorative forms — can be both useful and sculptural.

With expert guidance, you’ll learn traditional hand-building techniques and how to push their boundaries — forming shapes that reflect not just what you need, but who you are. You’ll be encouraged to experiment with form, texture, and creative expression as you sculpt a piece that feels grounded, beautiful, and uniquely yours.

In this class, you will create a vase or vessel approximately 30 cm tall. This size is achievable for beginners within the available time using the coiling technique.

Once complete, your work will be glazed and fired — ready to collect in about 4 weeks.

Want to bring it to life with colour? Book a painting session and receive a special discount to decorate your own ceramic creation.

Whether you’re just beginning or looking to deepen your connection to clay, this workshop invites you to transform a simple object into a soulful sculpture — one you’ll be proud to use, display, and keep.

✨ 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.
