Know exactly what each student used

Consumption records only pay off when they are tied to the student, the month, and the bill.

Firing records

Log each firing per student with the stage, quantity, and price, so firing fees are never estimated after the fact.

Clay and glaze use

Record how much clay and glaze each student took, by weight or unit, with the studio's cost applied automatically.

Monthly totals

See quantities and costs grouped by month for the whole studio or a single student, ready for billing.

Itemized student summary

Open a student's month to review every firing, clay, and glaze entry behind the total before you charge it.

Next to plans and attendance

Usage lives beside each student's class plan and attendance, so extras are reviewed together with the plan itself.

Recorded at the kiln

Log a firing or a glaze use on iOS or Android the moment it happens, instead of reconstructing the month later.

From the kiln shelf to the monthly total

Three steps that replace the notebook by the kiln and the spreadsheet at the end of the month.

  1. 1

    Record

    Log firings, clay, and glaze per student as they happen.

  2. 2

    Review

    Check each student's itemized entries and monthly quantities.

  3. 3

    Charge

    Use the monthly total to bill extras with confidence.

The categories help a lot too, especially for classifying by pricing tiers and managing firings, making the whole studio operation far more organized and functional every day.

Student usage tracking FAQ

Talk to the Ceramik team

How does Ceramik track material usage per student?

Teachers or studio staff record each firing, clay, and glaze use against a student. Ceramik keeps the quantities, applies the studio's prices, and groups everything by month.

Can I see a monthly total for each student?

Yes. Each student has an itemized monthly summary with firing charges and clay and glaze costs, plus the total for the month.

Is this the same as inventory management?

No. Usage tracking records what each student consumed and what it cost. It complements class plans, attendance, and payments rather than tracking stock levels on the shelf.

Where is Ceramik available?

Ceramik is available on iOS and Android, with a free plan for small studios and independent teachers.

Firing and material records make the most sense next to the class schedule and the rest of the studio's operation.
