All About Ceramic Painting
Do I need to make a reservation?
We definitely recommend making a reservation, as we unfortunately can't always accommodate walk-ins.
How does ceramic painting work?
We recommend that you book an appointment. Each session lasts 2.5 hours at your own workstation. At the start of each session, we’ll give you a brief introduction with all the important information you need to paint. After that, you can let your creativity run wild and paint as many pictures as you like. While you paint, you can relax and chat with your friends, family, or date, making the experience even more enjoyable. During your visit, we’ll be happy to treat you to delicious snacks from our bar.
When you’re done, simply hand in your painted pieces. We’ll take them to our studio, where they’ll be glazed and fired. As soon as your ceramics are ready, we’ll ship them directly to your home.
Payment is made on-site.
How much does the painting cost?
Making a reservation at nebu is free. You only pay the flat rate for the individual ceramic pieces.
The prices for the ceramic pieces range from 28 to 67 CHF, with most pieces costing around 40 CHF. The price of the ceramic piece includes paints, use of all tools, glazing, firing, and shipping of all pieces to one address per table.
Would you like a gold border? This is an optional service that is charged in addition to the price of the ceramic piece. The gold rim costs between 28 and 65 CHF, depending on size and detail.
If shipping to multiple addresses is requested, an additional CHF 10 per additional address applies.
While you paint, we’ll treat you to snacks from our bar. Food and drinks are not included in the price of the ceramic piece.
How long will it take to get my finished ceramic piece back?
It usually takes 10 to 14 days for your ceramic piece to be ready. Sometimes it can take 3 to 4 weeks. After that, it will be shipped directly to your home.
If you choose a gold rim, it takes about a week longer on average.
Can I book as a group?
Of course. You can easily book groups of up to 8 people online. If you’d like to come with more people, we’d be happy to arrange everything via email at info@nebu.bar - we usually respond quickly. In total, nebu can accommodate up to 55 people.
Can children come along too?
During the day, Nebu has a relaxed, creative atmosphere that’s particularly well-suited for families and younger guests. In the evenings and on weekends, the vibe gradually shifts to that of a cocktail bar, with a greater focus on drinks and a social atmosphere for adults.
Can I stay longer than 2.5 hours?
If reservations allow, you can occasionally stay longer.
What if I've never painted before?
No problem! We'll walk you through everything you need to know and keep in mind. :)
Can I give a gift card as a present?
Yes, there are two ways to give a gift certificate:
1. We offer elegant acrylic gift certificates that you can purchase in-store. You choose the amount, pay in person, and take the gift certificate home with you right away.
2. Alternatively, you can purchase a digital gift certificate online here.
Are the colors safe?
Yes, our glaze colors are non-toxic and food-safe. If any paint does happen to get on your clothes, it can be easily rinsed off with water.
Can I put ceramic dishes in the microwave?
No, please do not put your ceramic dish in the microwave. Sudden temperature changes can damage the ceramic and cause it to break.
Answers About the Bar
Do I have to paint to visit the bar?
No. Even though our reservations always include pottery painting, you’re more than welcome to drop by as a walk-in for a drink, a snack, or just to catch up.
Can I work at Nebu during the day?
Yes, of course. During the day and on weekdays, there are often one or two tables available where you can settle in and get some work done.
Can I bring my dog?
Please! We always love having four-legged friends visit nebu.
What's the best way to get there?
The easiest way to get to nebu is by public transportation. Take tram 9 or 14 to the “Talwiesenstrasse” stop.
We do not have our own parking spaces, but public parking is available in the area. Please note: Do not park at Migros in the evening, as their parking lot closes at 8:00 PM.
