What this sheet is for
Know what is in the stores before the order goes in, and keep the batch number of every bag and tub so a glaze that changes can be traced to a material that changed.
Who it is for
Studio potters, community and school pottery rooms, and anyone who mixes their own glazes and buys materials in more than one delivery.
How to use it
- Walk the stores with the sheet and count what is actually there, not what the last order said.
- Copy the batch number from every bag and tub — it is the one figure that explains a glaze fault later.
- Write your own reorder point beside each material, from how fast you use it and how long the supplier takes.
- Tick the ordered column when the order goes in, so it is not placed twice.
- Date the sheet and keep the old one; the pattern over a year sets next year's order.

Printed under the title: What is actually in the pottery stores — clay bodies by bag and batch, glaze materials, oxides and stains by tub — counted, dated, and with your own reorder point beside each.
Batch numbers matter more than they look. Firing ranges and reorder levels are yours to fill in, not ours to print. A clay body's range comes from its maker's data sheet; how much you hold before reordering depends on how fast you throw and how long your supplier takes. Write the batch number on every bag you open — a change of batch is the usual reason a glaze that worked for years suddenly does not.

Questions
Why is the firing range column labelled as the maker's figure?
Because it is. A clay body's range is printed on the bag or the supplier's data sheet, and it is not for a stock sheet to restate it. Copy it across so the information is with the stock count, but the source is always the maker.
Do prepared glazes go on here too?
Yes — the second table takes dry materials, slop and bucketed glaze alike, with a column for the form so a bucket and a bag of the same name are not confused.
