A sky full of sparkle, a lake full of magic, and zero light pollution.
Grab your brush, wish on a nebula, and dive into a night that’s anything but ordinary. This dreamy acrylic painting event takes you under a starry sky so vivid, you’ll practically hear the trees holding their breath.

Think: shimmering galaxies, glowing reflections, and deep-space blues that make your canvas feel like the universe zoomed in just for you. Add in some silhouetted trees, a calm lake, and your own cosmic flair — and you’ve got a painting that’s equal parts peaceful and powerful.

No telescope required. Just paint, relax, and channel your inner stargazer.

Pollock in Pyjamas
What happens when you and your child become a painting team? In Pollock in Pyjamas, you don’t just paint next to each other — you create together. 

You’ll mix your own colours, make creative decisions as a team and take on playful challenges that get you experimenting with movement, tools, colours and shapes. The twist? You each create your own artwork, while every challenge gives you something to share.

An instructor guides you through the whole experience, giving you one creative challenge at a time: What happens if you both use the same tool? What can you create with one shared colour? Can your child decide what happens next while you follow? You paint for a few minutes, stop, step back and see what happened — then get a new challenge and go again. 

This gives kids a chance to discover colour mixing and creative techniques, make their own choices and experiment freely, while you get to join in rather than just watch from the sidelines.

That’s what makes Pollock in Pyjamas different from simply booking an Action Painting Park session. You don’t have to figure out what to do with all those colours, brushes and tools yourself. The instructor creates the framework, keeps the momentum going and helps turn all that creative energy into a shared experience — while you and your child decide what happens inside it. So you can get messy, try things, surprise each other and have fun creating something that is uniquely yours.

Come as a family. Paint as a team. Leave with two artworks — and a whole lot of stories in between.

Our Oldest Brother on Earth · Watercolor Painting

Guided Watercolour Painting Workshop

  • Workshop
  • Beginner
  • ZÜRICH · PIE Painting Studio
  • 2.5 Hours
from 70.– CHF

Up to 20% discount for Members

Drift, glow, and dive deep.
A majestic whale gliding through quiet waters, as golden rays of sunlight reach down from above — connecting two worlds in one soft, luminous moment.

In this watercolour session, we’ll explore the magic of transparency and light, using gentle washes and flowing layers to bring this underwater scene to life. Think soft gradients, diffused light, and that weightless feeling where everything moves slowly and effortlessly.
Watercolour is the perfect medium for this piece — fluid, atmospheric, and just a little bit dreamy.

Sweet May · Watercolor Painting

Guided Watercolour Painting Workshop

  • Workshop
  • Beginner
  • BASEL · PIE Creative Café
  • 2.5 Hours
from 70.– CHF

Up to 20% discount for Members

A field in bloom, high in the mountains in May — where the air is still cool, but already carries the sweet scent of coming summer evenings.

In this watercolour painting session, we’ll capture a vast, flowing meadow filled with flowers and rich, warm green tones stretching across a mountain landscape. It’s a scene full of softness, atmosphere, and quiet movement — where light, mist, and colour gently dissolve into one another.

This is the perfect painting to explore the wet-on-wet technique, learning how to let pigments bleed, blend, and flow naturally on the paper to create that airy, luminous quality unique to watercolour. You’ll discover how to control just enough — and let go just enough — for the landscape to paint itself.

We’ll also focus on how to create the illusion of depth and perspective: how softer edges, cooler tones, and lighter washes can push forms into the distance, while richer greens and more defined brushwork bring the foreground to life. Step by step, you’ll build a sense of space that draws the eye through the field and into the mountains beyond.

Paint like Vincent: Starry Night

Guided Acrylic Painting Workshop

  • 2.5 Hours
from 70.– CHF

Paint like Vincent…
Some skies are calm. This one is electric — spinning with stars, streaked with midnight blue, and pulsing with van Gogh’s restless, brilliant energy.

In this vivid, feel-everything painting session, you’ll step into the swirl and create your own version of the world’s most famous night. Deep blues, bright yellows, bold strokes — it’s less about getting it “right” and more about letting the movement take over.

Along the way, you’ll discover what makes van Gogh’s style so unforgettable: the power of expressive brushwork, the rhythm of every stroke, and how much personality can live inside the way you apply paint. You’ll learn that a brushstroke is not just a technique — it’s a form of expression. A small movement of your hand can completely change the feeling of a painting.

We’ll guide you through building layers, creating movement, and finding your own interpretation of this iconic artwork. You might even discover something about your own artistic style — how you naturally use colour, texture, and energy to tell a story on canvas.

Action Painting, Neon Edition

Guided Expressive Abstract Art Workshop

  • Workshop
  • Beginner
  • BASEL · PIE Action Painting Park
  • 2.5 hours
from 60.– CHF

Up to 20% discount for Members

Splash. Drip. Splatter. Then… Glow.
Looking for a creative experience that’s energetic, expressive and unlike anything you’ve tried before?

Our Neon Action Painting Workshop combines the freedom and excitement of Action Painting with the spectacular world of fluorescent colours and UV light, creating abstract artworks that transform before your eyes.

After a short introduction, your instructor will guide the group through a series of Action Painting techniques while explaining the artistic principles behind strong abstract compositions. You’ll explore layering, movement, colour relationships, texture and composition as your painting gradually develops over approximately two hours. Rather than following a predefined design, every splash, brushstroke and creative decision becomes the inspiration for the next, allowing your artwork to evolve naturally from one moment to another.

Action Painting is an intuitive creative journey. Every mark on the canvas invites a new response, creating a continuous process of experimenting, observing and building upon what has already emerged. Throughout the workshop, you’ll work with a wide variety of paints, bottles, brushes, palette knives, rollers and other creative tools while your instructor demonstrates techniques, shares artistic insights and offers individual guidance whenever you need it.

And then the magic begins.

As the studio lights fade and the UV lights come to life, your painting reveals an entirely new personality. Fluorescent colours begin to glow, hidden details suddenly appear, and layers you barely noticed under daylight transform into vibrant, luminous compositions. What felt exciting before suddenly becomes immersive.

No two paintings will ever look alike. While everyone explores the same techniques together, each participant follows their own creative path, discovering a unique balance between spontaneity, intuition and artistic intention.

Whether you’re looking to switch off after a busy week, celebrate with friends or simply experience painting in a completely different way, the Neon Action Painting Workshop combines creative freedom, artistic guidance and an unforgettable visual spectacle unlike any other workshop.

You’ll leave with a one-of-a-kind artwork that tells two stories—one in daylight, and another that only comes alive under UV light.

Brushes out, vibes on — we’re heading to Monet’s garden.
In this vibrant acrylic session, we’ll dive headfirst into the iconic world of Claude Monet’swater lilies — minus the stuffy museum voice. Think soft petals, bold colour, dreamy reflections and the kind of loose, expressive brushwork that lets you paint what you feel, not just what you see.

You’ll learn how to blend, dab, layer, and play with light — all while creating your own version of this impressionist masterpiece. Classic or totally reimagined? Your pond, your rules.

Perfect for beginners, flower fans, and anyone who’s ever wanted to say, “Oh that? I painted it. It’s my Monet.”

Splash. Drip. Splatter. Total Freedom.
Looking for a creative experience that’s energetic, expressive and completely different from traditional painting?

Our Action Painting Workshop combines the excitement of throwing, dripping and splashing paint with the artistic principles behind creating a powerful abstract artwork.

After a short introduction, your instructor will guide the group through a series of Action Painting techniques while explaining how abstract paintings are built through composition, layering, colour relationships and texture. Rather than recreating a predefined motif, you’ll gradually develop your own artwork over approximately two hours, allowing every splash, brushstroke and creative decision to influence what comes next.

Action Painting is an intuitive journey. Every mark on the canvas becomes the starting point for the next, creating a continuous process of acting, observing and reacting. Along the way, you’ll experiment with a wide variety of paints, tools and creative techniques while your instructor shares demonstrations, artistic guidance and individual feedback whenever you need it.

No two paintings will ever look alike. While everyone explores the same techniques together, each participant follows their own creative path, discovering their own balance between spontaneity and intention.

Whether you’re looking to switch off after a busy week, reconnect with your creativity or simply experience painting in a completely different way, Action Painting offers the freedom to experiment while giving you the artistic guidance to turn expressive marks into a finished abstract composition.

You’ll leave not only with a unique artwork, but with a deeper understanding of how abstract paintings evolve—and the confidence to trust your own creative instincts.

City Lights, Paloma Nights · Oil Painting

Guided Oil Painting Workshop

  • Workshop
  • Beginner
  • ZÜRICH · PIE Painting Studio
  • 2.5 Hours
from 70.– CHF

Up to 20% discount for Members

Neon glow. Citrus sparkle. Midnight mood in every brushstroke.
Ever wanted to paint something that feels a little bit Old Master, a little bit retro lounge — and totally within reach? This is your moment.

It’s always cocktail hour somewhere — especially on canvas.

In this vibey oil painting session, we’re channelling that late-night lounge feeling — think 1960s New York, neon reflections, and the glow of a perfect Paloma in the spotlight. You’ll paint a vibrant grapefruit cocktail that practically lights up the canvas, set against a rich, dark background full of mood and mystery.

Along the way, you’ll get a feel for the basics of oil painting — how to work with its slow-drying nature, blend luminous colours, and embrace both the challenges and the beauty of this timeless medium. We’ll guide you through creating glowing highlights, juicy citrus tones; no need to know your tequila from your tonic — just bring your creative buzz, and we’ll handle the sparkle.

Perfect for beginners, night owls, and anyone craving a little retro glamour and colour-soaked escapism.

Blueberry Night & Days · Oil Painting

Guided Oil Painting Workshop

  • Workshop
  • Beginner
  • BASEL · PIE Creative Café
  • 2.5 Hours
from 70.– CHF

Up to 20% discount for Members

Deep blues, soft purples, and a subject that keeps things beautifully simple.
In this beginner-friendly oil painting session, we zoom in on a close-up composition of blueberries — rich, luminous, and full of subtle variation within a single colour world. It’s a monochrome study, making it the perfect starting point for anyone new to oil painting, where the focus can stay on form, light, and brushwork rather than complex colour mixing.

Because the palette is intentionally limited, there’s no risk of “messing up” the colour — instead, you can fully concentrate on building structure and depth. You’ll learn how to shape round, three-dimensional forms using light and shadow, and how to create convincing volume through shifts in tone rather than changes in hue.

We’ll explore how to layer oils to develop softness and richness, how to suggest texture on the skin of the berries, and how small variations in value can make each blueberry feel solid, glossy, and alive.
It’s a calm, focused exercise in observation and control — a simple subject that becomes surprisingly expressive once light, shadow, and paint start working together.

Soft petals, bold texture, and paint you can almost feel.
Step into the tactile world of textured acrylic painting, where a floral bouquet becomes something you build, shape, and sculpt. Using acrylic paint and modelling paste, we’ll focus on creating rich, dimensional forms that lift off the canvas.

You’ll learn how to mix the paste to the right consistency — smooth, workable, and easy to control — and how to apply it in layers to create depth and structure. We’ll explore how to form petals, add movement, and bring dynamic texture into your brushwork while keeping the composition balanced.
No flat surfaces — just texture, rhythm, and a painting that feels as alive as it looks.

Lean back. Breathe out. Let it sway.
This one’s for slow moods and faraway places — where towering palm trees stretch endlessly into a hazy sky, and soft flamingo-pink clouds drift through a muted grey-blue landscape.

In this oil painting session, we’ll create a scene that feels both calm and exotic — working with subtle, desaturated colours that somehow still feel fresh, warm, and full of life. Think tall, elegant palms in olive greens, gentle contrasts, and a palette that glows quietly rather than loudly.

This is a perfect entry into oil painting — simple, relaxed, and hands-on. You’ll get a feel for the material, explore how colours blend and move, and build your painting step by step without overthinking it.

No pressure, no perfection — just an easy, atmospheric piece that takes you somewhere else. 🌴

You’ll discover how to control just enough — and let go just enough — for the landscape to paint itself.

We’ll also focus on how to create the illusion of depth and perspective: how softer edges, cooler tones, and lighter washes can push forms into the distance, while richer greens and more defined brushwork bring the foreground to life. Step by step, you’ll build a sense of space that draws the eye through the field and into the mountains beyond.

Splash. Drip. Splatter. Then… Glow.
Looking for a creative experience that’s energetic, expressive and unlike anything you’ve tried before?

Our Neon Action Painting Workshop combines the freedom and excitement of Action Painting with the spectacular world of fluorescent colours and UV light, creating abstract artworks that transform before your eyes.

After a short introduction, your instructor will guide the group through a series of Action Painting techniques while explaining the artistic principles behind strong abstract compositions.

And then the magic begins.

As the studio lights fade and the UV lights come to life, your painting reveals an entirely new personality. Fluorescent colours begin to glow, hidden details suddenly appear, and layers you barely noticed under daylight transform into vibrant, luminous compositions. What felt exciting before suddenly becomes immersive.

No two paintings will ever look alike. While everyone explores the same techniques together, each participant follows their own creative path, discovering a unique balance between spontaneity, intuition and artistic intention.

Whether you’re looking to switch off after a busy week, celebrate with friends or simply experience painting in a completely different way, the Neon Action Painting Workshop combines creative freedom, artistic guidance and an unforgettable visual spectacle unlike any other workshop.

You’ll leave with a one-of-a-kind artwork that tells two stories—one in daylight, and another that only comes alive under UV light.

Sculptural Pots

A PIE Ceramics Workshop

  • 2.5 hours
from 105.– CHF

Up to 20% discount for Members

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.

Spin it. Shape it. Love the wonky bits.

Ever dreamed of making your own cup or bowl on the pottery wheel? This is your moment to try – no pressure, no perfection, just you, the clay, and the magic of Wabi-Sabi.

We’ll embrace wobbles, curves, and character, celebrating the Japanese art of Wabi-Sabi – finding beauty in imperfection and joy in the process, not just the result.

🎡 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.
