How to use this calculator
Enter forming completion, a drying estimate range, glazing-session dates, minimum glazing lead and actual studio firing/availability dates.
For each drying estimate, the planner searches complete eligible sequences and selects earliest collection. Exports use the later-drying scenario if it fits, otherwise clearly identify the earlier-only plan.
A worked example
Forming on November 2, 2026 with seven to fourteen drying days can use the November 16 bisque booking, November 20 glazing and November 21 glaze firing, collecting November 24.
Does it determine safe drying or kiln settings?
No. Those decisions require your studio's guidance and inspection. Availability dates and estimated durations are supplied by you.
Which calendar and years are supported?
Use Gregorian dates from 1900 through 2100, with results in that range. Daily plans allow up to 366 dates; dark-sky searches allow 31 nights. Durations, capacities and policy rules are supplied by you. Astronomy uses the bundled Astronomy Engine, sea-level geometry and browser time-zone rules. Timed exports use UTC instants; date-only events do not assign a clock time. Copy, CSV and print include calculation assumptions. Nothing is booked or scheduled outside this page.
What happens to my dates?
Calculations run on your device. Saving a calculation is optional and keeps it in this browser. A setup link contains the dates and settings you entered; anyone with the link can read them. Use one tab per saved calculator. Clear saved data from Privacy & settings.
