For hosts
You already know something worth sharing.
You don't need to be a teacher, and you definitely don't need a following. If you can get four people around a table and make something with them, you can host on Recess.
No audition. No following required.

“Wonky welcome — we'll get you centered by the end.”
What they made shows up on your session afterwards — the best advert you'll ever have.
What hosting looks like
Closer to having people over than teaching a class.
Small on purpose
Four to eight people, not a lecture hall. You're there to make something alongside them, not to perform.
You set the price
Charge what it's worth or run it free. Money moves through Stripe; Recess takes a small cut and the venue takes its seat fee if you're using one.
People who turn up
A paid seat — even a small refundable one — is the difference between eight yeses and eight arrivals.
Regulars, not an audience
Sessions can become a crew that meets on a rhythm. Your reputation follows you across every one you run.
Getting started
Your first session can be next week.
Pick a thing and a place
Your kitchen, a partner studio, a park bench. Search any real place and attach it — it doesn't have to be a venue that's heard of us.
Open a few seats
Set the size, the time and the price. A small refundable buy-in is the anti-flake trick that makes people actually come.
Show up and make something
Everyone logs what they made afterwards. That's your reputation, built out of real evenings rather than reviews.
What would you host?
Tell us the thing you'd happily do with four people on a Tuesday. We'll help you get the first one on the calendar.
