Roger Guèrin was one of the most important Belgian ceramists in Bouffioulx, near Charleroi. He was a member of the Société des Grès d’Art de Bouffioulx. Guèrin was faithful to the history of his region, and often worked in a type of hard ceramic (fired at a temperature of more than 1250 degrees Celsius), which had been made there since the late Middle Ages. He exhibited his work at the Paris expos of 1925 and 1937. He also collaborated with artists such as Cris Achterberg, Marcel Wolfers, Pierre Caille, Damien Ingels and Chris Lebeau.
