Craft, Create, Explore: Where to Get Creative in Zurich

Zurich is full of opportunities to get creative, learn new skills, and try something hands-on. From jewelry making and watch assembly to sourdough pizza and gin tasting, the city offers unique workshops where you can learn from experts and create something of your own.


  1. Jewelry Making Course by LMJ


LMJ’s jewelry workshop is one of Zurich’s most creative hands-on experiences. Known for their bold, sculptural designs, the Swiss brand invites beginners to step into the world of jewelry making — from sketching to shaping, soldering, and polishing. You won’t be working with gold or gems, but you’ll walk away with a custom piece that reflects your own style.

  1. Sourdough Pizza Workshop at ALBA


For those who love food and want to dive into the world of fermentation, the Sourdough Pizza Workshop at ALBA is an absolute must. ALBA isn’t just about pizza—it’s about tradition, sustainability, and the art of naturally fermented dough. Held on the first Saturday of each month, this workshop takes participants through the entire process of making sourdough pizza, from understanding fermentation and flour selection to kneading, shaping, and baking. The experience is as educational as it is delicious, and each participant gets to take home a portion of AULUS, ALBA’s 160-year-old sourdough starter, along with instructions to care for it at home. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just looking for a fun activity with friends, this workshop is a great way to explore the craft behind a truly great pizza.
