Materials Cost Tracker — Pottery Edition

Materials Cost Tracker — Pottery Edition

$12 — Instant digital download

If you've ever bought a bag of clay, paid for it without thinking, and then wondered later why your margins felt off — this is for you.

This tracker is a simple Google Sheets file built specifically for potters. Log your clay, glazes, packaging, tools, studio supplies, and kiln costs in one place. The Cost Creep Dashboard flags any material that's gone up in price since your last purchase — automatically.

What's inside:

→ Tab 1 — Clay + Raw Materials

→ Tab 2 — Glazes + Chemicals

→ Tab 3 — Packaging + Shipping

→ Tab 4 — Tools + Studio Supplies

→ Tab 5 — Equipment + Kiln costs (amortised per month)

→ Tab 6 — Cost Creep Dashboard (auto-flags price increases)

→ Tab 7 — Per-Product Cost Builder

I built this because I kept absorbing supplier price increases without noticing — until they'd quietly eaten through my profit. This is the thing that helps you catch it early.

Works in Google Sheets (free) or Excel.
