Ceramics Workshops for Teambuilding, Special Events & Birthday Parties
Looking for a hands-on experience to bring people together? At Ceramic Island, we offer fun and engaging workshops for private gatherings and team-building events. Whether you’re celebrating with friends or strengthening bonds at work, we’ll help you craft a memorable experience!
Private Groups (6-9)
Celebrate special occasions or simply enjoy a creative day out with friends and family.
💡 Starting at CHF 60 per person (including course fee, excluding firings).
Corporate Team-Building
Boost team spirit and collaboration with a creative session tailored to your needs.
💡 Pricing customized for your team’s size and goals.


The courses are conducted in two rooms with an open gateway between them, each providing access to a sink with running water. Together, both rooms can accommodate up to 8 participants for larger events.
Why Two Firings?
Each of your creations needs to dry for 5 - 7 days before it can undergo the bisque firing. After this first firing, the piece becomes sturdy and takes on a natural color, ranging from white to beige or orange. To add color and make it waterproof, glazes are applied, and the piece is fired again. Learn more in the FAQ.
Sunday Creative Events
Our Sunday workshops from 2 to 4+ pm focus on various techniques and themes suitable for both beginners and advanced participants.
Join us for a hands-on experience and explore your creative potential in a fun, "multiculti"environment. Contact me and get your spot today!
Company Events & Friends Circles
This was our very first company creative event! Most participants only found out on-site that they would be working with clay. Since it was a surprise, I was even more thrilled to see everyone, after the brainstorming phase, dive into a creative flow and craft unique pieces in a fantastic team atmosphere!
Our company workshops last 3 hours and include home made finger food and a glass of wine.
