The front desk for your pottery studio.
Kilnbook runs the parts of a studio that live on whiteboards and sticky notes: who is firing what, which wheels are free on Thursday, and how many classes are left on a student's pack.
30-day free trial. No card needed to start.
Three things every studio juggles
Kiln firings
Members drop work on a shelf, Kilnbook adds it to the right load, charges the firing fee by cubic inch and texts them when pieces are ready for pickup.
How firing queues workClasses & packs
Sell six-week courses, drop-in sessions and class packs. Waitlists fill seats on their own when someone cancels.
Classes and packsWheel time
Members reserve wheels and hand-building tables in one-hour blocks, with limits you set per membership tier.
Wheel and table bookingWe used to spend Sunday nights reconciling the kiln log with Venmo. Now the log is the invoice. Dana Whitlock, owner, Mudroom Ceramics (Tacoma, WA)
Built with studio owners, not just for them
Kilnbook started in a 14-wheel community studio in Portland. Over 340 studios in the US, Canada and the UK now run their bookings, firings and memberships on it.
