MudBuddy Studio

MudBuddy Studio is the studio side of MudBuddy. Whether you run classes, host members, or both, it keeps the kiln room organised so the studio always knows what is where and who it belongs to. USE THE PARTS YOU NEED Every studio works differently. Switch on what fits yours: classes, members, or both together. The app hides whatever you switch off, so a classes-only studio is never cluttered with member features. RUN YOUR CLASSES Track every student's pieces through the firing workflow with per-class rosters. Students get an email with photos when their work is ready to collect, and teachers can see at a glance what stage each piece is at. LOOK AFTER YOUR MEMBERS Members submit their pieces for firing from their own MudBuddy app and pay by card or studio credit. You see everyone at a glance, issue credit, and take payments for firing, clay, glazes and tools. RUN YOUR FIRINGS, YOUR WAY See every piece waiting for bisque or glaze firing, load kilns, mark them fired, and let members know their work is ready to pick up. Studios that want piece-level tracking can use QR tiles: scan a tile with the camera to load a kiln in seconds, and the queue updates itself as pieces move from waiting, to in the kiln, to ready for collection. Prefer to keep it simple? Manual tracking works too.
