Firing Fees
Collecting pottery firing fees can be a pain. Some studios use a clipboard, some have a web form, but it typically takes both members and staff a lot of time to track and bill these fees.
Kiln Fire simplifies the process of adding a piece, it's measurements, and billing the collected fees to a saved credit card on a weekly or monthly schedule, while sending out receipts to members automatically.

Memberships
Offer open studio memberships and allow members to sign up quickly. Monthly billing happens automatically and sends helpful receipts to members.
Credit cards fail often and it can be a lot of work to keep members' payment details up to date. Kiln Fire automatically sends email reminders when a payment fails and allows a member to update their card themselves.

Supply Purchases
Enable members to conveniently purchase clay, tools, and other one-off items directly within the app. With their credit card already saved, it only takes a moment, making the process hassle-free and time-saving.
By offering integrated in-app purchases we make the process more convenient for members to purchase repeated items and make the process easier on your staff to fulfill those items.
Sell Classes In Style
Pottery Classes
Offering classes is the bread and butter of most profitable pottery studios. Beginner potters want a unique experience and to try something new. Advanced potters want to improve their skills and learn techniques they haven't used before.
Kiln Fire makes selling classes from your website easy, you can create class purchase links and collect sign ups and credit cards, and keep a waiting list in case someone drops out a few days beforehand.
No Members Left Without a Spot
Member Wheel Reservations
If you have a busy studio, it can be frustrating for members to show up and not have a wheel or other kind of workstation to use. Member equipment reservations solve this problem.
With Kiln Fire members can reserve their spots easily in a few steps, no needing to look through multiple calendars of availability, we figure out which equipment is available on their schedule and book a time for them.
Better studio communication
Kiln Firings
Members are understandably excited to see their work come out of the kiln, but answering the question "when will the kiln be done?" over and over again can be tiresome for studio managers.
With Kiln Fire, all you have to do is start a firing in the app, it already has stored how long each kind of firing should take and members can easily view on their member dashboard the status of each kiln firing in real time.
Stay booked

Easily collect waitlists for classes or open studio memberships. That way you always know who is next on the list and can keep your class or membership roster full, maximizing your studio's profit.
