Calligraphy booking software for the UK.
One desk place, sold once and counted once. Evening classes and half-term workshops share a timetable, and the last desk closes the class for you.

Online booking
The desk is booked, not hoped for
A student chooses the calligraphy class, takes a desk place, and the desks left fall by one at once. Nobody rings the hall to ask if there is room.
Learn moreOne shared timetable
Which desks are inked, which are free
Every calligraphy class, the tutor taking it and each booked desk read off a single timetable, from the evening classes to the half-term workshops.

Built for every kind of calligraphy & lettering business
Beginners on a Tuesday evening
A first class needs a nib, a holder and elbow room. Cap it at the desks that give all three and the page will not sell a place you cannot seat.
Copperplate, term after term
Pointed pen students return to the same desk each week. A standing booking holds it for them without you retyping the register every Sunday.
A Saturday brush lettering day
Day workshops fill early and keep selling afterwards. The cap is the desks in the hall, and the final place closes the class without you watching.
Wedding envelopes in March
One booking takes five desk places for a bridal party. All five count against the same class, so the hall is not quietly oversold.
The left-handed oblique holders
You own two holders a left-hander can use. Keep that class small and the page will not sell a third place you have no kit for.
The ten-week foundational course
The course sells as one enrolment rather than ten separate evenings, so a student starting on Foundational is on the register throughout.
A private group in half-term
Quote for the tutor time, the ink and the sheets, then turn the accepted quote into the booking rather than writing the afternoon out twice.
The damp hall in February
Ink behaves differently in a cold hall, so numbers matter. The cap is the desks you can heat and light, and the page respects it.
Calligraphy: the room decides the number.
Count the desks once. The class then holds itself to that, and no one is carrying a chair in for a ninth student at ten past seven.
Options, with Pro
Drop-in calligraphy classes, a weekly desk for a regular, a private lettering workshop and a longer course sit on one timetable. Anything past a standard desk place goes on a quote 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.
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
The bench laid out before anyone arrives
The evening 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 walking the hall with a pencil while the first students unpack 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 hall 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 twice.
When the last oblique holder is gone
Students see the desk places genuinely left in a calligraphy class. Once the last one is taken, the class stops selling places online.
- One number, shown to allThe count on the public page is the count in the hall, including several places taken together in one group booking.
- No squeezing in a tenthA full class stays full. The stop protects the desks, the arm room a pointed pen needs, and the minutes each student gets with the tutor.
- The thin evenings stay visibleOpen places sit beside the full classes rather than behind them, so a student shut out of Saturday can find the Wednesday instead.
The class fee stays on the desk 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 regardless.
- 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 instead of a fortnight apart.
- Cash on the night still countsSomeone paying in cash or by bank transfer at the hall is recorded by hand on Free, and the booking reads as settled from then on.
- 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.

Yes. A standing weekly or monthly booking ends never, on a date, or after a chosen number of sessions, and it appears on the timetable in advance.
The desk place returns to the class, so the timetable and the number of places left stay right without anyone amending them by hand.
