Terrasate is your pottery tracker and visual studio journal — a calm, creative space to log every clay piece from lump of clay to finished form. Whether you’re throwing on the wheel, handbuilding sculptures, or managing a busy ceramics studio, Terrasate helps you stay organized and inspired without the mess of paper notes or forgotten shelves.. FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS: • Track Every Piece Start a new piece in seconds. Add photos, notes, dimensions, and your forming method (wheel, handbuilt, or combination). Move your work through each stage — from forming and trimming to bisque, glaze, and final firing. • Studio Location Tagging Keep track of where your work is — on your shelf, the drying rack, the bisque cart, or in the kiln. No more misplaced pieces. • Personal Glaze Library Document your glazes visually with images, notes, and firing details. Create combo glazes, save layering orders, and see which pieces used which glazes. • Customizable to Your Studio Use your own clay bodies and forming methods. Terrasate is flexible and adapts to your creative process. • Always Know What’s Next Terrasate helps you remember what stage each piece is in, which glaze you used, and where everything is in your studio — so you can focus on making, not managing.
