Scaling Ceramic Recipes

Ceramic recipes — whether for clay bodies or glazes — are typically expressed as percentages or relative parts, not absolute weights. To use a recipe, you scale those parts to your desired batch weight. This calculator handles recipes with up to 15 ingredients and outputs scaled weights in grams, kilograms, and pounds simultaneously.

How to Enter Your Recipe

Enter each ingredient with its original amount. The amounts don't need to add up to 100 — the calculator determines the total and scales proportionally. For example, a recipe showing "Potash Feldspar 40, Silica 25, Whiting 20, Kaolin 15" sums to 100. Enter those exact numbers and set your target batch weight.

Batch Size Guidelines

Test Batch

100–200g. Use a 0.01g precision balance. Small errors have large proportional impact.

Studio Batch

1,000–5,000g. Standard for a working studio. Good balance between effort and quantity.

Production Batch

10kg+. Use a bucket scale or platform scale. Batch to bucket capacity, not by formula.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between this and the Glaze Batch Calculator? expand_more
The Recipe Scaler works from any ingredient amounts (not just percentages) and outputs results in grams, kilograms, and pounds. Use it for clay body recipes, kiln wash, or any formula expressed in parts by weight.
Can I enter ingredients in any unit? expand_more
Enter ingredients in consistent units — all grams, all kilograms, or all parts. The ratio between ingredients is what matters. The scaler normalizes them and scales to your target weight.
