  • 59 CHF per person (one glass of red or white wine included)

Each partecipant will receive one glass of wine, along with access to a carefully curated selection of hand-crafted ceramics and a wide range of vibrant paints. At the start of the session, you’ll choose the piece you wish to paint, followed by a brief introduction from our instructor, who will guide you through the materials and explain the process. After that, you’re free to unleash your creativity and begin painting!

The price includes one item per person, with a choice of a glass, mug (small or medium), saucer, or ornament. Special items, such as bowls, plates, vases, and more, are available for purchase at the studio.

Extra items
You’re welcome to paint more than one item by purchasing additional pieces on-site.

After the event we’ll glaze and fire your creations, making them ready for pick-up at the studio within 4 weeks after the event. The person who made the reservation will receive an email when they’re ready for collection. 

No specific clothing needed. During the ceramic painting session, getting messy is uncommon. However, aprons are available upon request if needed.

Coffee & tea are free of charge.

Our pottery painting items are entirely crafted by our staff in our production studio in Zurich. It typically takes between one and two weeks from the birth of an object to its completion, as the object undergoes several phases. We use a technique called ‘slipcasting’. ‘Slip’ is essentially liquified clay, in a creamy, pourable consistency. We mix powdered clay with water and let it settle for a couple of weeks to ensure there are no air bubbles present. Then, we pour the mixture into plaster molds that solidify the clay, and after a few minutes, we remove them from the molds. The items are left to rest for 1-2 days and then finished with a sponge and smoothed. They are dried and fired at 980 degrees for about 2 days. Afterwards, they are transported to our pottery painting studios and are ready to be painted. Handcrafting our items gives us greater control over the materials used, quality, and functionality. Additionally, each object is truly unique and crafted slowly in Switzerland.

No, we do not currently offer firing services for external  customers using their own materials.
