Claymate

Pottery, remembered.

Remember every piece.
Repeat what works.

Claymate remembers the details behind your pottery — pieces, clay, surfaces, firings, results and what comes next — so successful work doesn’t disappear into notebooks, photos or memory.

Great pieces shouldn’t depend on memory.

A glaze combination works. A shape fires beautifully. A piece comes out exactly right.

Then weeks later you’re asking:

  • Which clay was that?
  • Was it two coats or three?
  • What cone did I fire it to?
  • What did I put underneath?
  • Where did I leave that piece?

Claymate keeps those answers attached to the work itself.

Everything your pottery needs to remember.

Every piece has a memory

Keep its photos, stage, clay, surfaces, location, firing context, measurements, notes and results together.

Follow the full journey

From forming to firing, keep the history of a piece without turning pottery into project management.

When it works, know how to make it again.

The best result isn’t much use if you can’t remember how you got there. Claymate keeps the setup behind successful pieces so you can come back months later and understand what you used — then Make Again.

  • Clay and forming context
  • Ordered surface layers
  • Firing context
  • Results and notes
  • Make Again

Make Again copies the setup into a new piece. It does not change the original, and it does not copy photos or measured sizes.

Stop guessing what you put on it.

Keep surface layers in order, including coats, area and application details. Pair them with the firing context that produced the result.

Because A over B is not the same as B over A.

Claymate logs firings you record — type, cone, kiln, pieces and estimated finish. It does not control a kiln, and completing a firing does not rate your pieces for you.

Stage journey on a Claymate piece

Know where every piece is in its journey.

Formed. Trimming. Bisque. Glazing. Firing. Finished.

Claymate keeps the journey visible while allowing real potters to customize their workflow. Trimming is in the default path; it is not required.

Find the digital record for the piece in your hands.

Claymate can give pieces simple studio marks so similar mugs, bowls, tests and batches don’t become impossible to tell apart.

Marks look like 26-041 — readable studio codes, not barcodes or QR labels.

Measure shrinkage clearly.

Record wet and fired linear measurements and let Claymate keep the comparison with the piece.

Linear measurements only. Never calculate shrinkage from weight.

The useful things you learn, kept for later.

Keep materials, recipes, test tiles, firings and tools close to the work they came from.

You do not need to build a library before you start. Create a piece first; add details when they become useful.

Made for pottery, not generic projects.

Remember instead of reconstructing

Your pottery history stays attached to the piece instead of scattered across notes, photos and memory.

Capture without slowing down

Claymate is designed around quick studio actions, not forms you need to manage.

Learn from your own work

Results become useful context for the next piece instead of disappearing after the kiln opens.

Build memory over time

The more real work you record, the more useful Claymate becomes.

Stories from potters are coming.

Claymate is just getting started. Real potter stories will appear here as the community grows.
