Community · run the open studio
The whole open studio, not just the calendar.
Members, shared wheels, kiln fees, a clay-and-tools shelf, gift cards. Studio-management tools handle the front desk — but none of them know what a bisque firing is. Claybench runs the day-to-day of a member-based studio in the same system as your kilns and production.
What you get
Everything a member studio runs on — connected to the kiln.
Memberships
Recurring plans with member rosters and self-service access — billed through Stripe, you keep 100% of the subscription.
Workstation reservations
Members book wheels and shared stations themselves, gated on what their membership covers — no double-booked tables.
Firing-fee billing
Per-piece or per-measure kiln fees as a running tab per member — prefilled from the actual kiln load, settled in person or online.
Supply store
Sell clay, tools, and glazes to members off a tracked shelf; stock decrements as it goes out the door.
Pickups & gift cards
Tell members their work is ready (with reminders), and issue or redeem studio gift cards by code.
Private events
Run paint-a-mug parties and group bookings inquiry → quote → deposit → balance, without leaving the studio’s system.
The difference
Member tools stop at the front desk.
Dedicated studio-management software books members and tracks dues — then hands the kiln, the firing schedule, and the production board off to a whiteboard. Because Claybench’s Community lives in the same system as Make, a firing fee can prefill from the real kiln load, and a member’s shelf of drying pots is the same data the studio plans around.
Run the studio members actually come to.
Memberships, firings, and the supply shelf in one place — connected to the kiln nobody else’s software understands.
