For pottery, painting and craft workshops: fill small batches without the chase

By the Yano team · 12 October 2026 · 6 min read

Workshops have fixed costs — clay, canvases, an instructor — and small batches. Half-empty classes lose money; overfull ones disappoint people.

Only run a batch when it fills

Turn on the minimum guest goal with your break-even number (say 8). People reserve for free; when 8 join, everyone gets a payment link. No refunds if a batch doesn’t happen, because nobody paid.

Know your participants

Experience level (first time / some / regular).
Any allergies to materials, if it matters for your class.
Instagram handle, so you can tag their work later.

Seats and groups

Set the number of seats and a maximum per booking (say 2), so one person can’t take half the batch.

Multi-week courses

A 4-week course can be one event across several days: sell one pass for all sessions, and the scanner lets each pass in once per day.

Book from your own website

Paste a two-line snippet into your studio’s WordPress, Wix or Webflow site — a Book button or a ticket card. Payments still go straight to you.

Try it for your next gathering

Free to start. Guests pay you directly; Yano never holds your ticket money. Free events cost nothing.

Questions people ask

Can I take a deposit and the rest in class?

Yes. Give the ticket type an advance and a balance; the scanner shows what’s still due at the door.

Can I repeat the same workshop every Sunday?

Yes. “Repeat this event” copies everything — tickets, questions, payment — and you only pick the new date.
