Check-in software for art class studios

Oil painting, watercolour, life drawing, and term-based kids' classes — all on one platform. Built for studios that run mixed adult-and-kids schedules with materials-included pricing.

What keeps art class studios up on a Tuesday

  • Materials-included vs BYO-canvas pricing that creates two different pass shapes.
  • Life drawing drop-ins that don't fit into any term-based pass.
  • Kids' Saturday art classes on term while adults are on casual — two rosters, one platform.
  • Materials ordering at enrolment that gets lost in email.

How SessionHQ fits art class studios

Materials at checkout

Add a materials charge at enrolment. Square-native. No second spreadsheet.

Life drawing drop-ins

One-off sessions outside term enrolments, with their own pass rules.

Terms and casuals together

Kids on term enrolments, adults on drop-ins or packs. Same platform, different pass shapes.

Built around how you already talk

  • "Materials-included" is a pricing decision, not a separate product; model it as a bundled pass option.
  • "Life drawing" is usually a drop-in session with a flat rate.

Typical passes for art class studios

  • Term enrolment (kids, materials included)
  • 10-class adult pack
  • Life drawing casual drop-in

FAQ

How do materials charges work?
Add a materials fee to the pass price or as a separate one-off charge. Billed via Square at enrolment.
Can life drawing run as drop-in?
Yes — one-off session, casual pass, check in and go.
Can I run adult casuals and kids' terms together?
Yes. Each class has its own pass scope; kids' term pack only works on kids' classes.
