Roger Collet was one of the leading figures in Vallauris ceramics from the 1950s to the present day. Born in Lausanne in 1933, he arrived in Vallauris in 1956 and became friends with many artists who arrived in the south of France after the Second World War, following Picasso. After 10 years of working for various ceramists (Fernande Kohler, Robert Pérot, Roger Capron, etc.), he opened his own studio in 1966.
He won a Gold Medal in 1968 at the first Vallauris Ceramics Biennale, then another Gold Medal at the Faenza International Ceramics Competition in 1977. He first worked with Vallauris clay, then in 1972 bought a stoneware kiln and refined his production using stoneware and porcelain. From 1983, he modified his work again by making celadons inspired by Song ceramics. Throughout his career, Roger Collet often collaborated with close friends such as the painter André Cottavoz, the ceramists Albert Thiry, Paolo Boni, Francis Crociani, ...
