The Atelier La Roue in Vallauris is a renowned ceramics workshop founded in 1950 by Pierre and Véra Digan. Atelier La Roue contributed to Vallauris becoming a hub for post-war ceramic innovation. The workshop was part of a larger movement that rejuvenated the craft, combining modern design sensibilities with centuries-old pottery techniques. Alongside other prominent figures like Roger Capron and Picasso, Atelier La Roue helped shape the artistic reputation of Vallauris. Although the atelier ceased operations in 1977, its ceramics are still highly prized by collectors today. Their blend of modern design, handmade artistry, and high-quality materials ensures that La Roue ceramics remain an iconic part of 20th-century ceramic art.
