Description

Glaze Lab is the studio companion that grows with you — from your first bucket of premade glaze to mixing and testing your own. Keep your whole pottery practice in one calm, well-organized place.

ORGANIZE YOUR STUDIO
• My Glazes — your recipe library for glazes, slips, waddings & more, with photos, status, and ratings
• Firing Log — track a firing in real time as the kiln climbs, then compare it against past firings or reference lines. Record before/after photos of each load.
• Tasks — a simple studio to-do list with subtasks and due dates
• Studio Books — track sales and expenses, see your monthly profit, and export a CSV
• Materials — what's on your shelf, amounts, and cost
• Clay Bodies — your clays and their expansion ranges, plus a reference library

EVERYDAY TOOLS
• Batch Calculator — scale a recipe to a weight or mix a bucket by specific gravity
• Cone Chart — Orton cone temperatures in °F and °C
• Discover — 18 community glaze recipes to start from
• Glossary & Defects Troubleshooter — plain-English answers, when you want them

WHEN YOU'RE READY FOR CHEMISTRY
Glaze Lab has a real glaze-chemistry engine under the hood — UMF unity formula, Si:Al ratio, Stull chart placement, and thermal-expansion (COE) analysis across ~90 raw materials. The Recipe Doctor checks a glaze against your clay body and flags craze and shiver risk before you fire. It's there when you want to go deeper — and out of the way when you don't.

HONEST PRICING
Glaze Lab is free to try with one of each: recipe, test, firing, and clay body. Unlimited is a one-time $19.99 purchase — no subscriptions, no upsells, no ads, no data harvesting. Buy it once, keep it forever.

What's new (v2.2)

Hands-free help and a smoother studio.

Siri & Shortcuts
• Ask for batch amounts out loud — "batch amounts in Glaze Lab" picks a recipe and a size, then reads the dry-material weights back to you. Perfect when your hands are covered in glaze.
• Jump straight to a recipe or tool by voice, too.

Better recipe sharing
• Share cards now fit your photo properly — no more awkward cropping. Pick from Classic, Photo, or Minimal layouts, each with a scannable App Store code.

More recipes & flexibility
• Added Chots' Chun (formulated by Chots Levenson) to the community recipes.
• "My Glazes" is now "My Recipes" — it holds your slips, waddings, and kiln washes too, not just glazes.

Polish throughout
• Cleaner, more consistent scrolling in Discover and My Recipes.
• Friendlier wording in Settings, plus a few small fixes.
