Kilnbridge
Kilnbridge is a ceramics production-management concept that follows work from customer order through forming, firing, inspection and packing.
Project overview
Kilnbridge explores the coordination behind a ceramics workshop: keeping customer commitments visible while batches move through several stages of making. The concept connects orders, production, kiln availability and final inspection within a shared workspace. Four detailed views give workshop coordinators and floor teams different levels of information without changing the language used for batches, quantities and status. The portfolio scope includes interface design, production information architecture and an industrial visual identity grounded in the ceramics environment.
The challenge
A ceramics order can span several batches and wait at multiple stages before it is ready to pack. Workshop teams need to understand what is being made, which stage is holding the work and whether inspected quantities meet an order's needs. Separate calendars, paper notes and spreadsheets can make those relationships hard to follow.
- Order deadlines need to remain visible as batches move between production stages.
- Shared kiln capacity introduces scheduling dependencies across batches.
- Inspection outcomes must distinguish approved quantities from pieces awaiting review.
- Packing teams need a clear handoff from production and quality control.
Our solution
The proposed workspace links an order overview to a production board, firing calendar and inspection view. Batch identifiers provide continuity between stages, while quantities and status labels make handoffs explicit. The calendar focuses on resource availability and load planning; the quality view focuses on recorded outcomes and packing readiness. The interface presents administrative coordination rather than firing instructions.
- A workshop overview connects order progress with production and packing readiness.
- A batch board organizes work by stage with visible ownership and due dates.
- A firing calendar places planned loads against named kiln resources.
- Inspection records separate approved items from quantities needing review.
- Twelve navigation destinations organize the wider workshop workflow.

The results
The concept defines four connected production views within a twelve-destination workshop navigation. Each image places the interface at the relevant point of work, from forming benches to kiln scheduling and inspection. The next validation step would ask workshop teams to trace a batch, locate scheduling capacity and reconcile approved quantities with packing needs.
