Uirlis builds software for pottery studios and the makers inside them. Memberships, class scheduling, studio time, firing, private lessons, events, gallery sales, and payroll, in one system, built by a potter who sits on a studio board.
A spreadsheet for members. A scheduling app for classes. A clipboard by the kiln. A payment processor. A group chat. And one person's memory holding it together, usually a working potter who would rather be at the wheel.
None of those tools know about each other, so somebody reconciles them by hand every month, forever.
Makerhearth replaces the whole stack.
Status: Opening to first studios
The studio platform. Memberships, class scheduling, studio time, firing, private lessons, events, gallery sales, and payroll in one system. Built for how pottery studios actually run, not adapted from a gym booking app.

A portfolio and shop for individual makers. Put the work online, sell from it, and keep it yours.
Visit makerfolio.artStatus: In beta, iOS and Android
A personal app for potters. Clay bodies, glaze recipes, kiln logs, pieces, and commissions, tracked on your phone. Works offline, because studios have bad signal.
Members check in and check out on a tablet by the door. The system charges to the half hour and puts it on their account. Nobody adds up a month of sign-in sheets.
One offering, one roster, six dates. Add a student in week three and they are on the list for weeks four, five, and six. No re-copying rosters session by session.
Work is measured by volume and drawn from credits the member already bought. A piece that cracks in the kiln is not billed. The credit goes back.
One email when it does. Nothing else.
No newsletter, no sharing your address.
Bootstrapped and independent. No investors, no ads, and we do not sell or broker your data. Your records export whenever you want them, because software you cannot leave is not software you chose.
