Marcel Giraud, born in 1927 in Vallauris, in the Mauruches district, was attracted to the world of pottery at a very young age. At the age of 13, he left school to follow a rigorous four-year apprenticeship with turner Blaise Rubino. In order to master the traditional technique of cooking in a wood oven, he worked from 1944 to 1946 at Tiola, a company specializing in the construction of these ovens.
Between 1956 and 1960, Marcel Giraud perfected his skills as a turner by working with various ceramists. In 1960, he opened his own workshop on rue François Donnet, where he mainly produced culinary ceramics. In 1975, he returned to his birthplace and took up painting, a long-time passion, while also learning stone and metal sculpture. These new disciplines energized his creativity, and he turned to more sculptural ceramic production.
In 1990, although retirement time had come, Marcel Giraud did not stop his creative activity. After a brief break, he resumed his artistic work with even greater ardor.
