Problem
Consumers in Italian cities often lack easy access to local, hands‑on creative workshops, while artisans struggle to find a simple way to market and manage their classes to a broader audience.
Solution
Club Joy operates an online marketplace that connects users with over 180 in‑person hobby experiences offered by local artisans across major Italian cities. Users can browse a curated selection of crafts such as pottery, painting, and design, choose convenient dates, and book a spot to attend the workshop at the host’s location. The platform also provides hosts with tools to list, promote, and administrate their classes, handling bookings and payments so creators can focus on teaching.
Target Audience
Primary customers are urban residents in Italy seeking affordable, experiential learning in arts and crafts, and independent artisans or studios looking to attract participants without managing their own e‑commerce infrastructure.
