Product Information

Books and DVD Tutorials

PRODUCTS: Tutorials and educational materials published use Unique Glass Colors (UCG), Colors for Earth (CFE), my Nature Color Collection, and Hues 2 Fuse products. Using other brands for many techniques may not be suitable and will require your testing for optimal results.

​As an expert with these brands, I have found and developed multiple techniques for fused glass painting and I often use these in conjunction with one another in my work. I do not use other brands or types of enamels and products.

Products used from UGC:
Enamels, Artisans, Accents, DETAILS, Layering Mix, Sparkles, Medium, Margot Clark brushes, MUD, and Outline products.

Products used from CFE:

I am not employed by, on commission with, endorsed by, or associated with the businesses of UGC or CFE. These are brands that do what I need them to do in my work and the techniques I teach.

NOTE: All educational material (video and print) are the property of Mark S. Hufford.
They are available for individual study and personal use only.

Glass Display Stands

Picture
Picture

These simple glass display stands are fairly simple to create and can help use up a lot of scrap or strips of glass you have accumulated. I like using transparent glass to make my stands so the focus is on my fused glass enamel art or I can choose a glass color that is common with my artwork to be cohesive and not distract from the overall display.

Using Miracle Mesh from Milkweed Arts the reusable forms can be made individually, or in a long strip to drape up to four stands in one firing. My firing schedules are included in the PDF file and this template may be printed out on your inkjet printer on Bullseye thin fire paper to ensure a perfect set up in your kiln.

I stress my firing schedule in the video as these are tested for my kiln. You may need to make adjustments by testing depending on your knowledge of your kiln.

(PDF file updated on 12/16/21. The anneal hold was not included in the drape firing schedule on the template).

Free PDF Tutorial

Picture
The Dragonfly casting mold LF182 from Creative Paradise project was a lot of fun to take my spin on using Hues 2 Fuse fired glass enamels on painted panels in combination with frit for casting. Below are PDF files you may download to use creating the Dragonfly Pond.

The firing schedule is what I used in my JenKen Profusion 16 and COE96 glass. You may need to make adjustments to your kiln and glass type for this project.

​Many artists casting this piece have included wire hangers embedded in the frit in the final firing or used fiber paper to create a recessed area in the back for gluing copper fittings to receive tubing for garden or planter display. Those choices are up to the individual and not included in the PDF for painting the dragonfly.
