Mark Hufford’s Story:

Mark is an accomplished Artist in many mediums, his early love of graphite not only endured but grew.  After years of limitless exploration into the layered subtleties of graphite drawing, along with his experimentation and development of various techniques, he yearned to share what he had mastered with others.

His unique method of teaching is not to simply arm students with technical skills.  Mark’s greatest joy is guiding his students to see the world through brand new eyes as they awaken to the nuances that surround them in the simplicity of everyday life.  His focus provides students with an increased level of awareness and a refinement of their observation skills enabling them to create truly realistic work.

Mark has various tutorials and has published two books; ‘The Art of Fused Glass Enamel Painting – a guide of applications for all skill levels’ and in 2021 released his second advanced book ‘ Mastering the Art of Fused Glass Painting – studies in nature and wildlife.  mark also hosts beginner classes and continuing education webinars for using fired glass enamels and products on kiln fired glass.  He has traveled the United States holding workshops and has an international following and student base.
