Considering himself as a humble craftsman, Paul Beyer devotes a large part of his work to the rediscovery of the salt stoneware technique. His work, very pure, honors the world of farmers and animals. The "potter" as he liked to be called, also produces a large number of utilitarian objects: jugs, pots, vases and bowls. As well as religious objects. He rejects the uselessness of decorative objects which leads him to make logical and robust forms for everyday use such as dishes or bowls. Paul Beyer is little known to the general public although he is a great specialist in the field. Apart from the influence of his father's work it is not known whether he had a master. 

Paul Beyer is considered a creative ceramist of the art deco period, innovating in his glassware, enamelled dinanderie and stoneware. In his artistic beginnings, he obtained a scholarship from the city of Besançon to train as a glass painter in Munich. Back in France, he started to work on his own and began to design stained glass, architectural ceramics, art paintings and terracotta. After a ceramics training course in Vallauris, he leaves Besançon and installs kilns in the Ain department to then stay in Switzerland for five years.
