About this app

Oxide Glaze Formulator is a ceramics calculator for potters who mix their own glazes. Edit a glaze recipe and watch its unity formula, Si:Al ratio, expansion and a drawn test tile change as you type.

RECIPES THE WAY POTTERS WRITE THEM
Enter recipes in weight parts, with colourants and opacifiers as additions over 100. The unity molecular formula is calculated from editable oxide analyses for every material, with LOI accounted for. Si:Al ratio, R2O:RO balance and a comparative expansion estimate update instantly with every change.

BATCHES READY FOR THE BUCKET
Scale any batch to the size you need in grams or ounces. Water is calculated for a target dipping specific gravity, so you know how much to add before you mix.

BLENDS AND TEST TILES
Line blend, colourant-sweep and triaxial blend generators lay out a grid of predicted test tiles. Each tile is drawn procedurally, with speckle, break, pooling and sheen predicted from the chemistry, so you can compare variations before you fire a single tile.

SWAP A MATERIAL WITHOUT LOSING THE GLAZE
The substitution helper swaps one material and rebalances the rest of the recipe to hold the unity formula as closely as possible.

KEY FEATURES
- Unity molecular formula from editable material analyses, with LOI handled
- Batch scaling in grams or ounces plus water for a target specific gravity
- Line blends, colourant sweeps and triaxial blends with a drawn tile grid
- Substitution helper that rebalances a recipe when you swap a material
- Fully offline studio journal for recipes and firing notes, no ads, no tracking

Five simple tabs keep the studio organised: Recipe, Unity, Blends, Materials and Notes.
