Presentation
Very young (13 years old), Jean-Claude Novaro goes every Thursday to the Antibes glassworks in the workshop created by Eloi Monod (ceramist engineer) and his wife.
He therefore began his apprenticeship very early in the presence of two master glassmakers (Linosky and Lopez). Gifted, he tried his hand at creating pieces different from those of traditional glassware: this is the revealing sign of his passion and his aptitude for glass.
He became a master glassmaker at the age of 20. 10 years later, he decided with his wife to create his own glassworks (in Biot) with one goal: to create new and original pieces. The beginnings are difficult because, to create, you have to forget all the automatisms acquired over time and have a solid chemist base.
It was with Lopez, his first master glassmaker, that he resolved his various technical problems. From that moment on, everything happened very quickly: an antique dealer discovered his works and bought around thirty of them.
At a trade fair in Paris, it was a success: everyone loved their lamps with a special frame: in fact this allowed simultaneous lighting from the top and bottom.
He then decides to settle in Paris for a while but he misses the South and he decides to return to Biot. During this period he became very creative: he felt free and decided to devote himself intensely to his research. He wants to create large-scale pieces. It was during this period that a Novaro Gallery was built inside the Biot glassworks.
In 1987, he participated in an exhibition at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris with the greatest master glassmakers. Four of his pieces were selected during the opening of the exhibition inaugurated by Jack Lang, Minister of Culture.
Notoriety is coming. Many galleries around the world are interested in Novaro: he is in demand in Japan, Germany, Belgium and the United States.
Novaro died in Monaco on December 30, 2014
Recognized today throughout the world, Novaro continues to enchant us with its very original and unique creations.
