Kiln It vs Fired Pottery

Kiln It keeps your pottery studio organized from the first idea to a finished piece or sale, on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. FOLLOW EACH PIECE Create a photo-based collection with clay bodies, glazes, notes, tags and storage locations. Every piece gets its own number, so near-identical pieces stay easy to tell apart, and you can print QR labels for them. Use the Work Board to follow progress through the studio and keep a journal of photographs and changes. PLAN YOUR STUDIO TIME See planned checks and active work in Studio Today. Record firings and their linked pieces, save drafts while capturing new work, and choose optional studio reminders. On Apple Watch, see upcoming checks and kiln loads and record a firing step. LEARN FROM YOUR GLAZES Log how each piece was glazed: every layer, its coats, and whether it was dipped, brushed, poured or sprayed. Keep glaze recipes, preserve recipe versions, and record test tiles and results in Glaze Lab so you can return to combinations that worked. SELL YOUR WORK Plan market events, prepare packing lists and price labels, record sales, and reconcile the event. Track pieces on consignment, each shop's share, and what you are owed. Keep commissions and wholesale orders with deposits, due dates and the pieces made for them. Review your sales history and revenue trends in one place. WORK IT OUT AT THE BENCH Studio Tools estimates the wet size for a finished size, the electricity cost of a firing, and a starting price from your materials and time. KEEP YOUR STUDIO WITH YOU Your records work on device without an account. Export inventory and sales spreadsheets or a complete studio backup. Preview a backup before restoring it, use recovery copies, or choose a shared folder in Files for the backups you want to keep elsewhere. Built for studio potters, ceramicists, market vendors and anyone who wants to remember how a piece came together.

Track every pottery project from wet clay through glaze-fired, log the clay body and glazes you used, and keep your studio photos in one place instead of scattered across your camera roll. Each project moves through five stages — planning, greenware, bisque-fired, glazing, and glaze-fired — with separate parts for sets and series. The glaze helper counts coats as you brush them on, so you don't lose track halfway through a complex application. Browse a catalog of over 1,500 commercial glazes from major brands. Save your favorites, log your own test tiles, and see at a glance which of your past projects used a given glaze. The community feed is optional. Share finished work, see what others have made with the same materials, and skip the social part entirely if you'd rather just keep your own records. Works fully offline. Sign-in unlocks community post publishing, cloud backup, and a public profile — but the core journal works without an account. No ads, no analytics, no tracking SDKs.
