The tools, documents, and open materials I would keep close when working in pottery and ceramics
Digitalfire is excellent for glaze chemistry and ceramic process language, while Glazy is helpful for studying recipes, tests, and community practice. Together they make it easier to move from vibes to variables.
The stack categories worth comparing here:
- glaze test and recipe journals
- firing schedule references
- studio workflow and defect checklists
Open materials worth opening side by side:
- Glazy organization: github.com/glazyorg
A useful starting point if you want to inspect or extend the open tooling around glaze data.
- Digitalfire: digitalfire.com/
A superb public reference for glaze chemistry, bodies, and ceramic processes.
Working documents and guides:
- Glazy: glazy.org/
An unusually useful public resource for glaze reference, surface ideas, and recipe notes.
- AMACO lesson plans and resources: amaco.com/educators
Solid educational downloads that work well as saved references inside a folio.
