Robert Picault arrived in Vallauris in 1946, founded the Callis workshop with his schoolmates Roger Capron and Jean Derval. In this village of a hundred potters, capital of the french midcentury modern ceramics, boomed by Picasso's arrival, he's also friend with Jean Cocteau, Fernand Léger and Louis Aragon.
