Clay box

I love the clay box app but it really needs to be updated. There have been new colors and recipes released but they have not been added to clay box.
Suggestion: it would be super nice if there were already designed color palettes on this site, now that would be amazing and very helpful.

Thank you for the feedback. I’m assuming you mean new Premo colors. I’m never quite sure if limited edition colors should be added since they may be hard to find. I just added an update (version 5.3) with a few new colors.

Thank you for the suggestion. I’ll work on adding some pre-made palettes to the app also. Hopefully I can release it in the next couple of weeks

Love it!

Can’t thank you enough for creating this app! I’m learning so much from the ‘cane design’ feature which allows me to scratch the basic geometry of my cane to get an idea of what it will look like. I also love the ability to create recipe mixes before I actually mix clay to get an idea of what it will look like. It also helps me develop an intuition about color mixing because I can try adding different colors to see how they change a color mix I want to fine tune.
I do have one suggestion for the developer. Now that there are so many color recipes added by the community, it would be very helpful to first select a color group before looking for the various colors within that group. Scrolling through the 500 recipes is tedious enough, but the number is just going to keep growing.

Thank you so much for the detailed review. So glad to hear the cane designer is useful.

I agree the recipes are hard to scroll through and that’s a great idea. I’ll work on a different design over the next couple of weeks.

The best $5 you’ll spend on a clay tool this year

For the cost of about two blocks of clay, you can buy this sweet little app that will enable you to create an endless variety of palettes and provides recipes for the colors you choose.
Upload a picture, then choose as many colors as you want from it to create your custom palette. You choose which color recipe most closely matches your color by looking at a list of swatches. It also suggests colors and color schemes to go with colors you select.

I know I’m going to be enjoying a bigger variety of color schemes from now on.
