Online booking

A desk place, taken and counted

A student picks the calligraphy class, takes a desk place, and the places left drop by one there and then. Nobody phones the hall to ask about space.

Built for you

Built for every kind of calligraphy & lettering business

Uncial for absolute beginners

A broad-edged pen needs a slope, a light and room to move. Cap the class at the desks that offer all three, and the page will not sell past it.

Copperplate through the term

The same students return to the same desk each week. A standing booking holds it for them without the register being retyped every Sunday.

A brush lettering afternoon

Afternoon workshops fill quickly and keep selling. The cap is the desks in the room, and the last place closes the class with nobody watching.

Wedding envelopes in the spring

One booking takes four desk places for a wedding party. All four count against the same class, so the room is never quietly oversold.

The two left-handed holders

Kit for left-handers runs out first. Set that class low and the page will not sell a place you have no oblique holder to put in front of.

The eight-week beginner course

The course sells as a single enrolment, not eight separate evenings, so a student starting in September holds the desk for the whole run.

A community group booking the hall

Quote the tutor time, the ink, the sheets and the room, then turn the accepted quote into the booking instead of writing the day out twice.

The Saturday practice session

Practice sessions share the timetable with the taught classes, so a half-empty room shows up now rather than when you open up on the day.

Calligraphy: the room sets the number.

Count the desks once and the class holds to it, so nobody is carrying a chair across the hall for a ninth student at ten past seven.

  • Options, with Pro

    Casual calligraphy classes, a weekly desk for a regular, a private lettering workshop and a longer course all sit on one timetable. Work beyond a standard desk place is written up as a quote.

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

Sheets, ink and seating, settled early

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

  • The cap is already countedConfirmed places have come off availability, so nobody is counting chairs along the room while the first students are laying out their nibs.
  • The right tutor is on itA class opens only where a tutor who teaches it is working, so a swapped evening does not leave a room of beginners with nobody at the front.
  • Regulars are already thereWeekly and monthly standing bookings appear on the future timetable by themselves, holding the same desk with nothing typed a second time.

Last practice sheet, last place

Students see the desk places genuinely left in a calligraphy class. Once the last one goes, the class stops selling places online.

  • One number, shown to allThe count on the public page is the count in the room, including several places taken together in a single group booking.
  • No squeezing in a ninthA full class stays full. The stop protects the desks, the arm room a broad-edged pen needs, and the time each student gets with the tutor.
  • The quiet evenings stay visibleOpen places sit beside the full classes rather than behind them, so a student shut out of Thursday can find the Saturday instead.

The course fee rides with the place

Take the calligraphy class fee by card with Pro, or record cash and bank transfer by hand on Free. The paid status sits on the desk place either way.

  • Paid as the desk is takenWith Pro the student pays by card while choosing the desk, so the register and its paid column arrive together rather than weeks apart.
  • Cash at the hall still countsSomeone paying in cash or by bank transfer on the night is recorded by hand on Free, and the booking reads as settled from that point.
  • A private workshop is quotedItemise the tutor time, the nibs and ink, the practice sheets and the extra hour, then hold the agreed figure against the booking it becomes.

One app for every booking

Everything you need to run your calligraphy & lettering business.

Online booking

A student picks the calligraphy class, takes the desk place they want, and the count of open desks falls for everyone else on that page.

Scheduling

Every calligraphy class, the tutor taking it and each booked desk sit on one timetable, so a full room and a half-empty one read the same way.

Capacity that holds

Set the class to the desks you can light and ink. Confirmed places come off that count, and booking closes when the last desk is taken.

Email reminders

Switch on the confirmation and the reminder, and each student is sent the class time, the address and what to bring without you ringing round.

Customers

Each class a student has attended, what they paid and any notes you kept live on one record, so a returning beginner is not a stranger to you.

Estimates

Write a quote for a private lettering workshop: tutor time, nibs and ink, practice sheets and the hall, itemised before anything is booked at all.

Team

Set each tutor’s real hours and the classes they take. A class opens for booking only when a tutor and the desks are free the same evening.

Payments

Record cash or bank transfer by hand on Free, or take the class fee by card with Pro at the moment the student takes the desk place.

Common questions.

Yes. Set capacity to the desks you can seat and ink; confirmed bookings come off that number and the class stops selling on the final desk place.

Yes. A single booking can take more than one desk place, and every place counts against the same class capacity.

Yes. A standing weekly or monthly booking ends never, on a date, or after a set number of sessions, and it lands on the timetable in advance.

The desk place goes back to the class, so the timetable and the number of places still open stay accurate with nobody correcting them by hand.

Yes. Switch on the confirmation and the reminder and every student is sent the time and what to bring. Both arrive switched off until you enable them.

Card payment at booking comes with Pro. On Free you record cash and bank transfer by hand, and the booking carries what has been paid against it.
