Fired Pottery vs GlazeBench

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.

GlazeBench is the studio notebook for potters who take glaze chemistry seriously — and still want an app that gets out of the way. BUILD A RECIPE, SEE THE CHEMISTRY Add materials and set percentages. The Unity Molecular Formula — silica, alumina, the SiO₂:Al₂O₃ ratio, and your flux balance — recalculates instantly, with your recipe's position plotted on the Stull chart. No spreadsheet, no waiting. CATCH PROBLEMS BEFORE THE KILN Plain-language warnings flag the things that ruin a firing: a glaze likely to run, an immature melt, a silica ratio headed for crazing, or ingredients that simply don't total 100%. SCALE TO THE GRAM Enter any batch size and read every material weight in large, high-contrast numbers you can see from across the bench — because you're weighing with clay on your hands, not holding the phone. NEVER LOSE A FIRING Record ramp and hold segments, the cone you fired to, a result photo, and what actually happened. Tie firings to the recipe so next time you know which batch worked and why. SOURCED, VERSIONED DATA Every oxide analysis carries a source reference and a data version, visible in the app. When the database changes you can see what changed — and which version you fired with. WORKS AT THE KILN The full material library ships on-device. No signal in the studio is not a problem. FREE · Build and calculate any recipe · Save up to 3 recipes · On-device material library GLAZEBENCH PRO · Unlimited recipes and firing logs · Live UMF chemistry and the Stull map · Batch scaling and cost · Export recipe cards to PDF · Sync across your devices Pro is $39.99/year with a 7-day free trial. A NOTE ON ACCURACY GlazeBench gives you guidance, not guarantees. Raw material analyses vary between suppliers and batches — always verify against your supplier's current data sheet, and always leach-test glazes intended for food surfaces.
