Registration by e-mail, material lists on paper?
Many creative course providers spend more time on organization than on their art. Email registrations, manually checking incoming payments and creating material lists by hand - this takes up valuable creative time. Bookicorn takes care of all the course administration so that you can concentrate on the creative side of things.
Everything for your creative courses
Workshop booking
Make one-off workshops and creative courses easily bookable online. Participants see available spots and book with a single click - whether painting, pottery or DIY workshop.
Course series & blocks
Plan recurring creative courses and multi-part course blocks flexibly. Participants book individual sessions or the complete package.
Participant management
All registrations, contact details and course history clearly organised in one place. CSV export for your accounting available at any time.
Online payment
Secure payment at booking via Stripe with credit card, SEPA or PayPal. No more manual payment tracking.
Automatic waitlists

Credit system
Flexible credit balance for frequent bookers. Customers buy credit packages and redeem them for different creative courses - from drawing to ceramics.
Your own booking page
Professional booking page with your branding and colours. Embeddable in your existing website or usable as a standalone page.
Automatic reminders
Participants automatically receive reminders before the course including materials list and meeting point. Significantly reduces no-shows.
Course categories & levels
Organise courses by technique (watercolour, oil painting, ceramics, sewing) and skill level (beginner, advanced). Participants find the right course instantly.
Mobile App for Creative Participants
With the Bookicorn app, your participants can discover, book and manage creative courses anytime, anywhere. Whether painting, pottery workshop or sewing course – your offerings are always at their fingertips. The app shows available places in real time, reminds participants of upcoming workshops and enables booking in just a few taps.
At the same time, as a course leader you have full control over your creative programme . Check participant lists, manage courses, confirm bookings – all from your phone, whether you are working in the studio or buying materials. The intuitive interface makes it easy even for less tech-savvy participants and saves you valuable time.
Your Design, Your Creative Studio
Bookicorn adapts seamlessly to your branding and the identity of your creative studio . Choose colours that match your atelier and create a booking interface that reflects your artistic signature. Whether warm earth tones for pottery, vibrant colours for painting or subtle pastels for hand lettering – you decide the look.
From the very first booking, your participants experience a consistent, professional atmosphere that builds trust and anticipation. The booking page integrates harmoniously into your website – with your logo and individual style. This strengthens the recognition of your brand and connects the positive experience with your creative studio.
Zero Commission on Course Bookings
With Bookicorn you keep 100% of your course revenue . No hidden per-booking fees, no commissions and no percentage deductions. Whether you offer an intimate jewellery workshop for 6 people or a large painting course for 30 participants – the full revenue is yours .
Especially for creative courses, where material costs and room hire already eat into your margins, this is a decisive advantage . Many platforms charge 5–15% commission per booking. Instead, you pay a transparent monthly flat rate – regardless of participant or course numbers. This lets you build your creative business sustainably.
Flexible Payment Models for Creative Courses
Creative courses are as diverse as art itself – and payment should be just as flexible. With Bookicorn you freely combine single workshops, course blocks, subscriptions and credit packages . Offer a one-off watercolour course just as easily as an 8-part drawing series or a monthly creative pass.
Payment is processed securely via Stripe with all common methods : credit card, SEPA direct debit, PayPal, Apple Pay and Google Pay. You can also record cash payments on site or create vouchers – perfect as a gift idea for creative minds. This way you find the right payment model for every course type and every target group.
