Concept

it started with an interview…

ceramics as play, ceramics as family, ceramics as a way of moving through the world with curiosity. Because Patricia Hardiman still considers herself an amateur and has no intention of selling her work, the digital presence needed to reflect that spirit. The concept centered on creating a space for exploration rather than commerce, a quiet archive that mirrors the tenderness and experimentation of her studio practice.

Design

The design translated the conceptual framework into a visual identity rooted in material play. The logo takes its cues from unstructured clay bodies—forms that are still in motion, still becoming—giving the mark a sense of softness and quiet irregularity. Around it, a visual language emerged: color fields in transit, gentle typography, and a system that prioritizes material sensitivity over rigid structure. The identity system was built to feel lived‑in and flexible, echoing the evolving nature of her craft.

Execution

The execution translated this identity into a digital archive designed for slow interaction. An interactive color‑picking feature allows visitors to hover or tap on images, revealing shifting hex codes that fade between tones—a small, meditative gesture that turns looking into touch. The site also houses In Situ, an interview that situates Patricia’s process and philosophy within her broader artistic landscape. Together, these elements form a web experience that invites discovery, reflection, and a deeper connection to the work.
