The seat is taken, then counted

Your student chooses the class, claims a desk seat, and what is left falls by one on the spot. Nobody messages you to ask whether there is still room.

Built for you

Built for every kind of calligraphy & lettering business

Modern calligraphy in January

Winter students need a lamp, a nib and room for the arm. Cap the class at the desks that offer all three and the page sells no further than that.

Copperplate all winter

Pointed pen students return to the same desk each week. A standing booking holds that seat for them without you retyping the list every Sunday.

A brush lettering afternoon

Afternoon classes fill quickly and keep selling. The cap is the lit desks in the studio, and the last seat closes the class with nobody watching.

Wedding envelopes in the spring

One booking takes five seats for a wedding party. All five count against the same class, so the studio is never quietly oversold on you.

Two holders for left-handers

Left-handed kit is what runs short first. Keep that class low and the page will not sell a third seat you have no proper holder to put in front of.

The ten-week beginner course

The course sells as one enrollment, not ten separate evenings, so a student starting on Italic holds the same desk for the whole run.

A private group before the holidays

Estimate the teacher time, the ink and the sheets, then turn the accepted estimate into the booking rather than writing the evening out twice.

The summer program week

A holiday week runs several classes a day. They share the timetable, and each one is capped by the desks you can actually set up and light.

Calligraphy: the lit desks set the cap.

Count the desks with good light once. The class then holds to it, and you are not dragging a chair over for a ninth student in January.

  • Options, with Pro

    A casual class, a held weekly seat, a private lettering workshop and a ten-week course can all run off the same timetable. Anything past a standard seat is itemised on an estimate first.

Schedule

The count you make kits against

Every workshop shows its paid places, so the night before you sit down knowing you are cutting paper and matching nibs for eight, ten and six rather than for a rough idea.

Two places, bought as a present

One person takes both places on the date, pays for them and notes who the second is for, so a birthday gift becomes two names on your list instead of a message you have to chase.

Get paid

Kits made up for people who have paid

The place is charged at booking and the session closes at your cut-off, so nothing lands after you have assembled. A workplace evening goes out as an itemised quote.

Less admin, more bookings

Made for calligraphy & lettering businesses

Nibs, ink and seating, known by morning

The day lists each calligraphy class, the teacher on it, the desks still open and what has been paid, so nothing is counted at the door.

  • Nobody recounts the stoolsConfirmed seats have already come off availability, so you are not walking the studio with a pencil while students shake the snow off their coats.
  • A teacher is on every classBooking only opens where a teacher who runs that hand is working, so a swapped evening never leaves a studio of beginners with nobody up front.
  • The season regulars are placedStanding bookings put themselves on the timetable months ahead, keeping one student on the same lit desk with nothing entered a second time.

The last lamp-lit desk closes it out

Your students see the seats genuinely left in a calligraphy class. Once the last lit desk is taken, the class stops selling seats online.

  • The studio number is the public numberWhat the page shows is what the room holds, group bookings included, so two people booking together never read as one seat.
  • Nobody gets wedged inA full class stays full, which keeps the desk lamps, the sweep of arm a pointed pen wants and your minutes per student where they belong.
  • A quiet night is still findableOpen seats show up alongside the full classes, so somebody who misses the Saturday workshop can take the Wednesday instead of drifting away.

Workshop fee stays with the desk seat

Card with Pro, or cash and bank transfer written down by hand on Free. Whichever it is, the paid status stays attached to the desk seat itself.

  • Settled while the seat is claimedOn Pro the card goes through as the desk is chosen, so the class list and the paid column are finished at the same moment rather than weeks apart.
  • The envelope of cash still countsA student paying cash or by transfer on the night is written down by hand on Free, and from then on the booking reads as settled.
  • Private work gets an estimateBreak out the teacher time, the nibs and ink, the practice sheets and the extra hour, then carry the agreed figure into the booking it becomes.

One app for every booking

Everything you need to run your calligraphy & lettering business.

Online booking

Your student chooses a calligraphy class, claims the desk seat they want, and the open count falls for everybody else looking at that page.

Scheduling

Every calligraphy class, the teacher running it and each booked desk sit on one timetable, so a full studio and a thin night read equally clearly.

Capacity that holds

Set the class to the desks you can light and ink. Confirmed seats come off that count, and booking closes the moment the last desk goes.

Email reminders

Turn the confirmation and the reminder on and each student receives the time, the address and the kit list without you writing a single message.

Customers

Each class a student has taken, what they paid and the notes you kept sit on one record, so someone returning after the summer is not a stranger.

Estimates

Price a private lettering workshop as separate lines, teacher time, nibs and ink, practice sheets and the room, and send it before anything is held.

Team

Give each teacher their real hours and the classes they run, and nothing can be booked in a slot where the teacher or the desks are already spoken for.

Payments

Cash and bank transfer are written down by hand on the Free plan, and Pro lets the fee go through by card as the seat is claimed.

Common questions.

Yes. Capacity is whatever number you set; each confirmed booking comes off it, and the class stops selling once the final lit desk has gone.

Yes. One booking may claim several desk seats, and all of them count against that class’s capacity rather than being tracked separately.

Yes. A standing weekly or monthly booking runs for good, up to a date, or for a set number of sittings, and it appears on the timetable in advance.

That seat returns to the class straight away, so both the timetable and the number of open desks stay right with nothing edited by hand.

Yes. Confirmation and reminder emails carry the time and the kit list once you turn them on. They arrive switched off, so the choice is yours.

Paying by card at the point of booking is a Pro feature. On the Free plan you write cash and bank transfer down against the booking yourself.
