Lycée Lucas De Nehou

Presentation

The Lucas de Nehou high school, located in the 5th arrondissement of Paris, is a public institution recognized for its specialization in glass crafts. Its name pays tribute to Louis Lucas de Nehou, associated with the development of the plate glass casting process in the 17th century.

Disciplines and strengths

The school trains students in glass-related skills: stained glass, glass painting, decoration, lead assembly techniques, hot and cold working, restoration. The programs range from the CAP and the brevet des métiers d'art (arts et techniques du verre, option vitrailliste) up to the DN MADE mention Matériaux, oriented toward contemporary creation with glass.

The pedagogy combines technical workshops, applied arts culture, drawing, design projects and encounters with professionals in the field. Students engage with both heritage commissions (restoration of stained glass windows, historic monuments) and object design, installation, scenography or plastic research on the material.

Who this is for

For profiles drawn to a demanding material and to a sustained studio practice, wishing to move toward art crafts, glass creation or to continue at a higher school of art and design.
