Seatkeeper · For craft and art studios · UK‑wide, based in Fareham
Craft and art workshops, booked on your own website
Pottery, printmaking, jewellery, painting - a studio runs one-off tasters, courses that last six weeks, and a party most weekends. Seatkeeper books all three on your own website, takes the deposit, and fills a cancelled place from the waiting list without you lifting a finger.

Who you'll deal with, start to finish
He's in Fareham and works with businesses all over the UK - on a call, and in person when it's worth the trip.
023 8272 0001 Rings through to Shane. Out of hours it goes to voicemail, and he'll ring you back.
Twenty-five years writing software, two companies co-founded and sold, and he still writes the code. A few people he's worked with for years come in when a job needs more hands.
What's included
- Taster sessions, evening classes and multi-week courses, each with its own dates and places left.
- A course of several weeks booked in one go, with every date in it.
- Parties and private groups - birthdays, hen dos, team days - with a deposit to hold the date.
- Gift vouchers bought online and redeemed against any class.
- A waiting list for the sessions that always sell out, which fills a cancelled place on its own.
- Materials, age limits and what to bring on every class page, and a materials fee on top where you charge one.
- A message to everyone when their pieces are fired and ready to collect, from the same list you took the booking on.
What a studio needs from booking
Short sessions and long courses
A two-hour taster and a six-week course live side by side, and a student who misses a week can be moved onto another night's session.
The popular ones sell themselves
Full dates offer the next one, or a place on the waiting list, rather than a dead end.
Parties that don't live in your inbox
Date, group size and deposit taken online, with the details on the booking rather than in an email thread.
Pricing
£49+VAT a month plus £200+VAT setup, or £499+VAT a year with no setup fee - Seatkeeper's founding prices, half the usual, and yours for as long as you stay. Everything included, and no fee on any booking.
That's the whole of Seatkeeper, set up for your studio: your website, the booking, vouchers and deposits, hosted and looked after.
When you don't need us
If you run the odd workshop with no deposits, vouchers or waiting lists, a simple ticketing tool will do, and we'll say so.
