Jean-Paul VAN LITH trained at the Ecole des Arts Appliqués in Paris, in the ceramics section, which quickly led him to glass. In Biot, where his studio is located, he collaborated with Jean-Claude Novaro from 1979 to 1981, creating some six hundred pieces decorated with metallic lustre and gold, following a technique he had applied in ceramics. In 1982, he began a collaboration with a crystal manufacturer (Waltersperger) in Blangy-sur-Bresle, northern France.

In 1982, the Por-tieux glassworks in the Vosges hired him to set up a glass art studio (which remained in operation until 1984). Monica Damian and Matei Negreanu joined him there.
