See your piece glazed before you fire

You upload an inspiration photo (a piece with the effect you want to reproduce) and tell us the cone, atmosphere, clay body and the piece's intended use. The AI proposes a base recipe (the glassy layer) plus a coloring layer using real raw materials available in Brazil, with percentages adding up to 100% over the base and a suggested firing curve. The recipe is then validated by three independent chemical methods — Seger UMF, Limit Formulas and the Stull Chart — and 9 algorithmic variants are generated via Triaxial Blend.

Both. For high temperature (cones 5 to 10) the AI formulates the recipe and the site validates it against the Seger unity formula and the published limits for the cone. For low temperature (below cone 04) the engine returns a frit + colorant recipe — building low-fire glazes from scratch out of isolated raw materials isn't advisable, because the risk of toxicity and blistering is high.

Every recipe generated with `Piece use = Functional` applies stricter toxicity rules: lead is banned (always), barium is avoided on the surface, lithium only in a stable form, cadmium is banned. Even so, we always recommend a leaching test before commercial use. For decorative ware the restrictions are looser, but the system still flags any problematic raw material.

No — and no glaze recipe should ever go into production without testing. The generated recipe is a technically sound starting point (the chemistry checks out, percentages add up to 100%, fluxes are proportional), but real-world variables like raw-material batch composition, application thickness, the kiln's actual curve and the bisque clay body call for a triaxial test before you fire a whole kiln load. That's exactly why the platform already delivers 9 variants ready to test.

Yes. With a free account you get 20 credits every month, forever — a glaze simulation uses 1, a recipe import 3 and a recipe from photo 5. The Ceramist plan is $9.90/month with 60 credits (rolling over for up to 3 months); Studio PRO is $29/month with 150 credits, AI chat and the piece combiner; the School plan (up to 10 users) is available on request. Paid plans also get 10% off OXID purchases in Brazil (orders from R$ 50). International prices in USD, processed by Dodo Payments.
