Memory Into Making

In creating her range of slip-decorated mugs, Mayon Hanania looked back to her childhood. “I wanted the design to resemble one I could have found in the French countryside.”
 
Her aunt is a potter in the South of France, and as a young girl, she often visited her home studio. “It seemed like everything in her home was ceramic: the spoons, the lamps, the art… it was very inspiring to see such freedom and creativity.”

This early exposure was formative, and by the time Mayon chose to pursue a creative life herself, she had a wellspring of imagery and references to pull from. She discovered ceramics after moving from France to the United States, recognising it as “a way for me to combine my love for beautiful objects and my need for visual expression.”
