Follow the exact steps a pottery, painting or kids' craft studio uses inside TuitionDesk — from picking your institute type to running a public exhibition with online registration. Every step below is a real product capability, in the order a studio actually sets it up.
Eleven real product steps — not a marketing checklist.
Choose Art & Craft Studio as the institute type when you set up your organization — every screen relabels itself around classes, mediums and materials instead of generic academic terms.
Set up separate batches for each medium and age group — Pottery Teens, Watercolour Adults, Kids' Craft Ages 6-9 — each with its own schedule, teacher and fee plan.
Assign each batch's sessions to a Venue — a room or studio — so the pottery wheel room and the painting room are never double-booked for two classes at once.
List clay, paint sets and craft kits as Equipment, and let students who don't bring their own materials book a date-range rental through Equipment and EquipmentBooking — including public booking from your studio's own website.
Create a fee plan for each batch that covers per-term tuition and a separate materials or kit fee line, with EMI available for higher-value terms.
Use custom level and badge definitions with your own icon or image to mark progress — for example 'Beginner Potter' or 'Watercolour Level 2' — as each student completes a medium's milestones.
Parents of enrolled children log into the parent portal to see attendance, fees due and badge progress — without calling the studio to ask.
Your studio gets a free public academy website with every batch listed, an enquiry form, and demo or trial-class booking for new families.
Create the termly student-work exhibition as an Event with a listing photo, and open it for families to register online through the Event's registration page.
WhatsApp, push and email reminders go out ahead of each class session and the exhibition date — available from the plans that include WhatsApp sending.
Reports roll up attendance and fee collection per medium and age group, so you can see which batches are filling up and which are falling behind on fees.
The owner, the teacher and the parent all work off the same data — scoped to what each of them actually needs to see.
Creates batches, books rooms, sets fee plans, lists kit rentals, and reviews attendance & revenue per medium in Reports.
Logs in to their own batches only — marks attendance per session and awards skill badges as students complete milestones.
Sees attendance, fees due and badge progress in the parent portal, and gets WhatsApp/push reminders for classes and the exhibition.
Start on the Free plan — it covers fees, attendance, sessions, the parent portal and Smart Import for up to 10 students. As your studio grows past 10 students, move to Starter, Growth or Pro for more students, branches, WhatsApp reminders and AI features.
Yes. Studio rooms are booked as Venues (room or studio type) so two classes never double-book the same space, and consumable or borrowable supplies — clay, paint sets, craft kits — are listed as Equipment with date-range EquipmentBooking, including public booking from your studio's free website.
Each student can be awarded custom level/badge definitions with your own icon or image — for example 'Beginner Potter' or 'Watercolour Level 2' — as they complete milestones in a medium. Parents see this progress in the parent portal.
Yes. Create the exhibition as an Event with a listing photo, and families register online through the Event's registration page — the same Event/EventRegistration feature used for open days and public academy events.
Yes. Every class session has a mode — offline (in-person, the default for most craft/pottery sessions), online, or hybrid — set per session, batch or schedule, so an occasional online demo or tutorial session fits the same timetable.
This workflow sits inside the same buyer checklist coaching businesses use everywhere — see our best coaching software in India checklist for how TuitionDesk compares on fees, attendance and parent trust, or the broader coaching institute management feature set.
