Roger Capron (1922-2006) was a French ceramicist. He received numerous awards and still enjoys great renown today. Passionate about ceramics, he approached this technique in various ways. He modernized the traditional curves of Provençal pottery, developed mass production, explored decorative tiles, and then sculpture.
Roger Capron studied at the École des Arts Appliqués in Paris until 1943. He developed a passion for ceramics and decided to open his own workshop in Vallauris with Robert Picault and later Jean Derval. He was one of the artists who contributed to the revival of Vallauris's golden age of ceramics. Subsequently, in 1952, he opened a factory employing about fifteen workers. He received numerous awards in Milan, Cannes, and Brussels. He also won the Grand Prix International de la Céramique in 1970. The factory closed in 1982. Roger Capron's works are featured in numerous art galleries worldwide.
