Case Study: The Pottery Shed achieves 90,000+ pottery bookings with YouCanBookMe

How Joe Darling Booked 90,000+ Pottery Sessions with YouCanBookMe

The Pottery Shed, founded by professional potter Joe Darling in Sydney, Australia, needed a better way to manage class sign-ups after relying on PayPal deposits as a makeshift booking system. When a $40,000 month triggered a PayPal freeze, the studio lost access to funds and was left without a reliable scheduling process for its growing pottery classes.

YouCanBookMe provided the solution with customizable online scheduling for creative services, including group booking limits, automated rescheduling, conditional forms, and Stripe payments. With YouCanBookMe, The Pottery Shed built eight tailored booking pages and has since booked over 90,000 sessions, helping Joe run a five-teacher studio smoothly while focusing on teaching and craft instead of admin.
