When you visit a Crafting Station, you are presented with a number of types of items. If the item is presented in white, you have the materials and skill to craft one or more of its Tiers. If the item is in red, you are missing one or more of the requirements. You can click the item to view the specific Tiers and Recipes either way.
After selecting an item type, you can see the different Tiers of the item this station can craft. Click a different Tier's column to view its Recipe. While viewing a Recipe, you can select what Rarity of each material you want to use, and see how those changes affect your odds of crafting it at each possible Craftsmanship level. For equippable items, you can switch from the Craftsmanship view to see the resulting item's stats, or you can hover your mouse over each section of the Quality Bar to see the item's stats should you roll that Craftsmanship.
If you lack the materials to craft any given recipe, you can choose to pin that recipe to the HUD as an Objective. Doing this keeps all the required ingredients visible as you play, so you can easily keep track of what to seek out.
It's very common that you cannot refine all the materials needed for a recipe. You'll need to work with other players or use the Trading Post to get anything you can't supply yourself.
