Art Class Booking & Scheduling System

Q: Can students book and pay for a full term of art classes online?

Yes. Turn on Membership to sell a term or ongoing pass online, and Accept Payments lets students pay the moment they book. If you also run one-off workshops or exhibitions, our event booking system handles ticketing for those separately.

Q: Does the booking system show how many seats are left in a pottery or painting class?

Yes. Display Remaining Spaces shows real seats left on every class page, so a popular life-drawing or ceramics session fills itself without you checking a roster by hand.

Q: What happens if a student cancels their art class at short notice?

You set how many hours before class a student can still cancel with Cancellation Policy, so a late cancellation on a term doesn't leave you an empty seat.

Q: Can I move my existing student list into SimplyBook.me?

Yes. Import Clients brings in your existing student names, emails and phone numbers from a spreadsheet, so regulars don't have to register again from scratch.

Q: How long does it take to set up SimplyBook.me for an art class business?

Minutes. Tell the AI assistant what you teach and it creates your classes, providers and working hours for you, so you can take bookings the same day. There is no setup fee and no credit card is needed to start.

Sell class terms and drop-in seats, track exactly how many spaces are left in every session, and let regulars rebook their weekly seat without a phone call. Students book and pay online 24/7, while SimplyBook.me tracks capacity, sends reminders, and applies your cancellation policy automatically.

Sell a term, not one seat at a time

Sell a full term of art classes as one Membership purchase, so painters, potters and craft students commit and pay upfront, not one lesson at a time weekly.

Show how many seats are left in class

Turn on Display Remaining Spaces so every class time in your calendar shows the seats left, filling pottery wheels and easels before a session starts.

Let regulars book their own seat weekly

Weekly recurring Classes hold the same life-drawing or ceramics seat for returning students automatically, so regulars never email or call to rebook it.

Art classes are one part of our wider events and entertainment booking system, covering workshops, escape rooms and rentals too.

Fill every class & track every seat

Classes

Set a seat limit for every pottery wheel, easel or table, run recurring weekly or bi-weekly classes, and stop a popular life-drawing class from ever being overbooked.
Display Remaining Spaces

Show the seats left on every class time in your booking calendar, so students see a session filling up without you checking the roster.
Import Clients

Bring your existing student list in from a spreadsheet instead of re-entering every name, email and phone number by hand.

Sell terms & keep students coming back

Membership

Sell a term pass once a month or once a season, so students commit to attending instead of booking one lesson at a time.
Coupons & Gift Cards

Sell a gift card for a friend's first class or a discount code for a new term, turning one-off visitors into paying students.

Set the rules & get paid

Cancellation Policy

Set how many hours before a class a student can still cancel, so a last-minute cancellation can't free up a seat you have no time to refill.
Accept Payments & Deposits

Take full payment or a deposit for materials and studio time the moment a student books, through 30+ payment processors.
Automated Reminders

Send reminders by email, with optional SMS and WhatsApp credits, before each session so a forgotten booking doesn't become a no-show.

Love it works well

It's pretty accurate and I am able to book clients worldwide

SimplyBook.me (Free Version)

For me it was easy to set up. Not only do you get your own SBM web presence, but it allows you a Book Now button which I installed easily into my weebly site. The software allows you set the times you are available and when not. I love the idea that people can book you at their convenience and dont need to get in direct contact with you. Very Happy. The Free version has limitations, but this is to be expected. The Paid versions have tons of additional features. The Free version needs to be renewed on a monthly basis, a bit of a pain if you have decided to continue to use the free product. But I think a clever way to simplify purging unused free signups so am sympathetic to the idea.
