a.k.a. Abstract Improvisation – let it flow, not fit.

This isn’t about “getting it right.”
This is about letting go, following your instinct, and making something raw, bold, weird, calming, chaotic — or all of the above.

In this intuitive abstract painting workshop, we swap technique for trust, and outcomes for play. No fixed subject, no rules — just a big canvas, a pile of tools, and your curiosity in the driver’s seat. Whether you leave with a masterpiece or a glorious mess, the point is: you showed up, you created, and you felt something.

We’ll set the mood with a specially curated playlist of meditative + emotionally expressive tracks, and you’ll get access to all the good stuff: rollers, brushes, spatulas, a protective suit (yes, really), and a generous 40 × 50 cm canvas to start. Want to go bigger? You can upgrade when booking – or decide on the spot.

Guidance is there if you want it — but your brush, your vibe, your call.

✨ How the Workshop Works

Think of a Paint It Easy event — but with more time, more technique, and more creative depth. Our workshops are all about learning something new and meaningful while still enjoying the relaxed, feel-good PIE vibe.

Each workshop is guided by a professional artist and focuses on a specific creative technique, style, or material. Whether you’re trying it for the first time or want to deepen existing skills, you’ll get personal guidance, hands-on support, and time to really explore the process.

Most workshops take place in our beautiful, cosy studios in Zürich or Basel — full of colour, creativity, and a welcoming atmosphere. From time to time, we also host them at inspiring partner venues or outdoors in the sunny season.

No stress, no pressure — just a great setting to experiment, learn something new, and create something truly yours.

We provide everything you need:

• A warm and friendly learning environment
• All necessary materials and tools
• A mix of demonstration & individual guidance
• Artistic freedom — everyone interprets the technique their own way

Whether you’re a motivated beginner or a curious creative, this is the space to dive deeper, discover new methods, and leave with a skill that sticks.

🥂 A Toast to Creativity
