-----------
Marcel Giraud, French ceramist, settled in the 1950s in Vallauris, village known for its ceramics and boomed in the 1950s by the arrival of Pablo Picasso who now also worked in pottery. Located on the Azue coast, this village becomes in this post-war period an intense place of creation where Pablo Picasso launches out in the pottery and where many artists such as Jean Cocteau, Marc Chagall, Fernand Léger mix. Roger Capron, Robert Picault, Suzanne Ramié became renowned ceramists.
But pottery is above all an art of fire, so his desire for knowledge leads him to the Tolia workshop where he experimented with wood-firing, the only one at the time. He learned the alchemy of fire, the chemistry of oxides
and the construction of kilns.
After having worked for Argonautes and Albert Thiry, Marcel Giraud launched his own workshop in 1960. For fifteen years, he produces decorative and culinary ceramics that he signs Cardelle at first, then with his name Marcel Giraud.

Marcel Giraud
Marcel Giraud was born in 1937 in Vallauris, France. He left school at the age of 13 to become an apprentice potter at the workshop of Blaise Rubino. He later worked at several other workshops in the area until he opened his own studio in 1960, creating mostly utilitarian ware. Since 1975, Giraud has taken up painting, sculpture and continues to create sculptural figures, animals and other decorative objects in his retirement.
