Classes
Know where every class piece is.
Students log their pieces after class, your technicians see what needs firing and glazing, and everyone hears the moment work is ready to collect.
Students log their pieces
Straight from their phone after class, nothing to download.
Your studio sees the queue
Every class and piece in one view, so technicians know what needs firing and glazing.
Pieces get collected
The moment a piece is ready, the student gets an email, and they can check their own tracking page any time.
For your students
Log a piece in seconds, a tracking page to follow it, and an email when it's ready. No more guessing, no more asking at the front desk.
For your studio
Technicians see exactly what needs firing and glazing, admin stops fielding “is it ready yet?”, and every class piece sits in one place.
Nothing to install. Students log from a web link on their phone, and you can add MudBuddy's QR tiles later if you want them.
Classes is priced on its own, so you only pay for what you use.
Members
A studio your members can run themselves.
Members get their own app to track their pieces, lodge and pay for their firings, and buy clay and supplies from you.
Their own potter app
Every member gets the MudBuddy app to log and follow their own pieces, with photos, glazes and notes kept for each one.
Lodge and pay for firing
Members submit their pieces for firing and pay for exactly what they fire, right in the app. No cash at the counter, and the firing revenue lands automatically.
Buy from your studio
Members buy clay, tools and glazes straight from you, with inventory tracked per item, so restocking is one less thing to chase.
Studio credit
Members load credit, or you top them up, and it spends on firing, clay and supplies. Fewer one-off payments to handle.
Coming soon
Memberships
Recurring billing and automated renewals, with members managing their own account.
Bookings
Wheel and workspace bookings from the member's phone.
Happier members, less admin, and an easy way to sell clay and supplies through the app.
Book a 15-minute demoPiece tracking
Simple QR tiles that just work.
The technology behind Classes and Members. A quick scan logs a piece, and it is tracked from there.
QR tiles
Quality tiles made in Australia, built to handle studio life, wet clay, water and all. A scan logs a piece in a few seconds, which is why members and students actually keep it up.
Track manually if you prefer
Rather log pieces your own way? Manual tracking is available for classes. Members track with QR tiles only.
Firing queue and kiln loading
See what is waiting, load kilns with confidence, and mark firings done.
Insights and transactions
A clear view of every transaction, plus insights on your firing operations and revenue.
Our founding studio
“The hardest part of running firings used to be the not-knowing. Members couldn’t see where their pieces were, so they’d ask our techs multiple times a day, which frustrated everyone and pulled the techs off their work.
Since MudBuddy, members log their own pieces in seconds and the manual recording has dropped right off. But it’s become more than piece tracking. It’s given us real visibility over how the studio runs day to day, which makes everything easier to stay on top of.
I’d recommend it to any studio owner who wants less friction and a clearer view of what’s happening across their studio.”
