Savi Community Studio

Ceramics community, Athens

Savi Community Studio homepage

Savi Community Studio is a ceramics community space in Athens built around shared equipment rather than fixed classes: kiln hire, paint-your-own-pottery walk-ins, and studio memberships for people who want ongoing access.

A community-run studio was coordinating kiln hire, paint-your-own-pottery walk-ins, and paid memberships mostly through group chats. Nothing central, nothing that scaled past a certain size, and the same structural gap as Keramiko: Amelia bookings and WooCommerce purchases with no shared record of who'd actually paid for what.

  • Kiln hire calendar

    Members reserve firing slots directly online through Amelia, with no back-and-forth to find an open slot.

  • Workshop Participants plugin (shared engine)

    The exact same plugin built for Keramiko, same codebase, zero duplicated code, reconfigured for Savi entirely through a settings screen (studio name, hours, which booking sources feed the list). Proof the tool was built as a real product, not a one-off client hack: 97 bookings from 70 customers tracked since June 2026.

  • Studio Hours Manager (shared engine)

    Same credit-package bridge as Keramiko: members buy hour packages via WooCommerce, hours deduct on Amelia booking and refund on cancellation, balance stays correct in both systems.

  • Staff-synced pickup scheduling

    Pickup windows follow a real staff member's actual Amelia booking calendar (hours, days off, special days) instead of a manually maintained weekly schedule.

  • Automated email orchestration

    The same n8n workflow pattern as Keramiko, handling booking and hour-package emails on top of the plugin's own endpoints.

Savi's warm terracotta base and hot coral accent lean into a sunbaked, Mediterranean read of clay and kiln heat, more saturated and casual than Keramiko's navy-and-cream, which fits a drop-in community space rather than Keramiko's structured class program. Same underlying engine, deliberately different personality on top.

Why community studios need a real booking system in 2026

A studio built around drop-ins and shared equipment lives or dies on scheduling. Once a kiln, a class, or a membership tier needs tracking, a booking page beats a group chat every time, for the studio and for the people trying to book.
