About this app

Your pottery, all in one place. 🏺

From your first pinch pot to your favourite glaze combination, Pottery Log helps you capture, organise and share your pottery journey. Keep photos, making notes, glaze recipes and inspiration together in a beautiful journal designed for potters.

Whether you throw on the wheel, hand-build at home or create in a busy studio, give every piece a story you can return to.

Start a project with a name and a photo, then add details as your work takes shape.
• Take photos with your camera or choose them from your gallery.
• Add and reorder photos to follow your piece from fresh clay to its final firing.
• Record clay type, shrinkage, forming method, pattern, texture, colour and decoration.
• Keep notes on handles, spouts, glazes, bisque temperatures and glaze firing temperatures.
• Edit your projects as you learn, experiment and refine your process.

Ratings and reviews

this was an ok-ish all at best. very glitchy having to save multiple times and start over to log a project. recently they introduced a paywall barrier restricting the amount of projects you can log on the free plan. my account was already way past that. I'm not willing to pay for a "premium" plan to store photos of projects there's a million other apps I can do that on.

Fantastic app to keep track of all facets of pottery creation from start to finish. Detailed and plentiful categories to note what contributed to the overall look of a pice. Mentioned in my initial review that the only thing lacking was a search function and they responded by adding one - fantastic!!

Unfortunately, there aren't any other decent apps to track and log pottery for Android. There used to be one called ClayMate which was very useful and had some great features. But for some reason it has disappeared from the Play Store. This one is decent but it is lacking in customization and it's quite buggy at the moment (for me at least). But the developer has been very responsive and hopefully they will continue to improve the functionality of this app. It has a lot of potential.
