A tutor rules guide lines on practice paper beside dip pens at a studio bench in New Zealand

A bench place, taken and counted

A student picks the calligraphy class, takes a bench place, and the number left drops on the spot. No one emails you to ask if there is space.

Built for you

Built for every kind of calligraphy & lettering business

Modern calligraphy for beginners

First-timers need a nib, a straight holder and space for the arm. Cap the class at the benches that give them that and the page sells no further.

Copperplate, week after week

Pointed pen students keep coming back to the same seat. A standing weekly booking holds that bench without you keying it in every Sunday.

A brush lettering afternoon

One-off afternoons sell quickly and then keep selling. The cap is the benches in the room, and the last place shuts the class on its own.

Envelope addressing for a wedding

One booking takes four bench places for a wedding party. All four count against the same class, so the bench is not oversold behind your back.

The two oblique holders you own

Left-handers need kit you have very little of. Set that class low and the page will not sell a place you cannot put a proper holder in front of.

A six-week beginner course

The course sells as one enrolment, not six separate nights, so a student who starts on Italic is on the bench for the whole run.

A private group after work

Quote the tutor time, the ink, the sheets and the room, then turn the accepted quote into the booking rather than writing the evening out twice.

A rained-off Saturday

A wet weekend fills a lettering studio fast. Extra classes go on the same timetable, and each one is capped by the benches you can actually set up.

Calligraphy: the bench is the limit.

Count the benches once and the class holds itself to that number, so nobody is squeezing a ninth pointed pen onto a bench built for eight.

  • Options, with Pro

    Casual calligraphy classes, a weekly bench for a regular, a private lettering workshop and a longer course all run off the same timetable. A quote handles anything past a standard bench place.

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.

Instant booking

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

Ink mixed, sheets counted, benches known

The day shows each calligraphy class, the tutor on it, the benches still open and what has been paid, before anyone gets their coat off.

  • The cap is already countedConfirmed places have come off availability, so nobody is counting stools along the bench while the first students are hanging up wet jackets.
  • The right tutor is on itA class only opens where a tutor who teaches it is working that evening, so a swapped night does not leave beginners staring at a bare bench.
  • Regulars are already thereWeekly and monthly standing bookings turn up on the future timetable on their own, holding the same bench with nothing retyped.

Full bench, and the sign-up closes

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

  • One number, shown to everyoneWhat the public page says is what the room holds, including several places taken together in a single group booking.
  • No squeezing one more inA full class stays full. The stop protects the bench, the swing of arm a pointed pen needs, and the time each student gets with you.
  • The quiet nights stay visibleOpen places sit alongside the full ones, so a student who misses out on the wet Saturday can see the Wednesday and take it.

The class fee stays on 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 bench place either way.

  • Paid as the bench is takenWith Pro the student pays by card while choosing the bench, so the class list and its paid column turn up together rather than a week apart.
  • Cash at the door 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 bench place they want, and the open count drops immediately for everyone else on that page.

Scheduling

Every calligraphy class, the tutor on it and each taken bench sit on one timetable, so a full class and a half-empty one are equally obvious.

Capacity that holds

Set the class to the benches you can actually set up with ink and paper. Confirmed places come off that count and booking shuts on the last one.

Email reminders

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

Customers

Each class a student has sat, what they paid and any notes you kept live on one record, so a returning beginner does not start from scratch.

Estimates

Put a quote together for a private lettering workshop: tutor time, nibs and ink, practice sheets and the room, all itemised before it is booked.

Team

Set each tutor’s real hours and the classes they take. Nothing opens for booking unless a tutor and a bench are both free that evening.

Payments

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

Common questions.

Yes. Capacity is whatever you set it to; confirmed bookings come off that number and the class stops selling once the last bench place is taken.

Yes. A single booking can take more than one bench place, and each 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 bench place goes back to the class, so the timetable and the number of places left stay accurate without anyone correcting them by hand.

Yes. Turn on the confirmation and the reminder and each student is sent the time and what to bring. Both arrive switched off, so you choose.

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