Store description excerpt

Flare Ray is the complete studio companion for ceramic artists — a dark, kiln-glow app built for everyone who lives between raw clay and open flame. Log every firing. Build a rich record of each kiln run: title, date, kiln type, atmosphere, target and measured cone, a full segment schedule with ramp rates and holds, glazes and pieces, outcome, star rating, and photos straight from your camera or gallery. Bisque and glaze schedule presets get you started in seconds. As you build your schedule, a live firing-curve chart draws itself on screen — and when the firing is done, save that curve card to your photo library with a single tap. Master the science of fire. The interactive Orton self-supporting cone chart covers cones 022 through 14 — toggle °C/°F, switch between slow and fast rates, tap any cone to watch the animated bending diagram and read its endpoint temperature. Eight in-depth theory articles walk you through every critical stage: water-smoking, quartz inversion at 573 °C, carbon burnout, vitrification, cooling, candling, reduction vs oxidation, and bisque vs glaze. When something goes wrong, a dedicated troubleshooting database covers more than a dozen glaze and clay defects with symptoms, causes, and remedies. Build your glaze and clay library. Browse 16+ reference glazes across every major family — Glossy, Matte, Satin, Celadon, Tenmoku, Shino, Ash, Crystalline, Raku, and Oribe — each rendered with a procedural swatch that captures the glaze's character. Add your own custom glazes with a full recipe breakdown by material percentage. Explore 10+ clay bodies from earthenware to porcelain with fired color chips, shrinkage and absorption data, cone range, and working notes. Seven kiln type references with pros and cons round out the library. Watch your practice grow. Studio Stats gives you a panoramic view: firings per month, outcome distribution, firing-type breakdown, cone histogram, top glazes, pieces fired, average rating, and peak temperature ever reached — all animated on screen. Everything lives on-device. No account required, no internet needed, no data ever leaves your studio.
