KilnLog: Pottery Kiln Log

KilnLog is a free pottery kiln log built for potters and ceramic artists working in a home or shared studio. This kiln log follows every piece from wet clay to final firing and works out what each firing costs, so your studio records live in one place. WHAT IT CALCULATES • Firing cost — enter the kiln's kilowatts, firing hours, duty factor and your electricity rate to get the cost of a firing, and the cost per piece when you add the piece count. • Clay shrinkage — work out the fired size from a wet size and shrinkage percentage, or the wet size you need to throw to hit a target fired size. • Glaze recipe scaling — build a studio glaze recipe in percentages and scale it to any batch weight in grams, ingredient by ingredient. • A cone temperature reference is built in for planning bisque and glaze firings. YOUR POTTERY LOG • Log pieces with clay body, form, dimensions and photos, and move each one through its stages — thrown, trimmed, bisque fired, glazed, final fired, done. • Record outcomes and sale prices, and see the recorded sales total on the dashboard. • Keep a glaze library with type, colour, finish, cone and food-safety notes, plus glaze layers on each piece, and a clay body list with shrinkage and cone ratings. • Log every firing with date, type, cone, peak temperature, hold and schedule, link the pieces that were in it, and note kiln maintenance like element and thermocouple changes. • The dashboard rolls it all up: total pieces, glazes, firings this month and total firing cost. • Everything is saved on your device and works offline. A SHOP FOR POTTERY SUPPLIES The Shop tab gathers pottery tools, clay and glaze supplies from online sellers, so restocking starts where your studio log already lives. Prices and checkout stay with the seller. LISTEN WHILE YOU WORK Looking Glass Radio, our own live internet station, is built in — and off by default. Tap the ♪ button only if you want music while you throw; tap again and it disconnects completely. Credit: background music made with lookingglassai.us. THE DEAL We don't collect your data — your numbers and logs never leave your device. The app is free; the shop links keep it that way. American owned · Veteran operated.
