Read full description

Remember why a piece worked, and make the next one even better. ClayTrace is a pottery journal that keeps the whole story of every piece in one place: the clay body, each glaze layer, every firing, the photos and what you learned. When a glaze finally comes out of the kiln just right, you'll know exactly how to do it again. SNAP NOW, FILL IN LATER Hands covered in clay? Take a quick photo and keep working. Add the stage, dimensions, clay body and next step once your hands are clean. Save an idea with reference photos, a source link and notes, and it will be waiting when you're ready to make it. EVERY STEP, EVERY GLAZE LAYER Follow a piece from throwing or handbuilding through trimming, bisque and glaze firing. Record glazes in the order you applied them, with coats, area and application method. Set up your clay bodies and glazes once, then reuse them on every piece. FIND WHAT WORKED Search one place instead of your camera roll, notebooks and sticky notes. Pull up every piece made with a glaze, clay body or technique and see how each one turned out. All your photos come together in one Gallery. SEE HOW YOU'RE GROWING Follow your skills and milestones through pieces you actually made. When a piece deserves it, turn it into a finished-piece card or share the whole process as slides. YOUR JOURNAL STAYS YOURS No account and no ads. Your records stay on your device, with no limit on pieces or glaze layers. Export everything, including pieces, notes and original photos, to a single file anytime for free, and restore it on this phone or a new one. Available in English, 简体中文, 繁體中文, 日本語, 한국어, Français, Deutsch, Español, Italiano, Português (Brasil), Nederlands and Polski. STUDIO PRO, OPTIONAL For potters who want to dig deeper, Studio Pro adds four tools that work right on your device: • Work Tags: group pieces your way and filter your Library • Compare: two pieces side by side • Personalized Shrinkage: predict a finished size from your own fired pieces, or work back from the size you want • New Piece Defaults: start every piece with your usual form, method, clay and shelf Studio Pro is an optional in-app purchase. Your pieces, notes, photos and Export/Restore stay free. Terms of Use: https://www.lifeven.com/claytrace/terms
