Michèle Luzoro (1949), master glassmaker in Biot (France), Novaro School, married to Jean-Claude Novaro. In 1977, with his wife Michèle Luzoro, he founded his own studio in Biot in which he leads from the front production and research. Their mastery of the glass addresses several techniques simultaneously: work at home plate and the tool, metallization by reduction, hot applications or additions metals, metal oxides, gold leaf, silver, etc.
Jean-Claude Novaro was a French artist considered one of the greatest glass makers of the 20th century. Novaro’s lamps, bottles, and vases utilized Art Deco-inspired shapes to create swirling, colorful forms. He pioneered techniques which included adding and layering unique materials directly into molten glass, such as metal oxides, precious stones, and luminescent powders which glow in the dark. In recognition of his ambition with his medium, Novaro is included in the Guinness Book of World Records as the maker of the largest hand-blown glass work ever created. Born on October 18, 1943 in Antibes, France, he began studying glassmaking at age 14 under Eloi Monod in Biot before founding his own studio there in 1977. The artist died on December 30, 2014 in Monaco at the age of 72.

Michèle Luzoro was born in 1949 in Biot, a hilltop village near Antibes on the French Riviera long associated with ceramics and glassblowing. In the late 1970s she began working in the Biot glass studio of her then-husband, glassmaker Jean-Claude Novaro, producing hand-blown art glass.
Working alongside Novaro, Luzoro used techniques he pioneered, layering materials such as metal oxides, mineral inclusions, and luminescent powders directly into molten glass. She later established her own studio in Biot; pieces are typically signed "Michèle Luzoro, Biot, France."
