Mark Waterbury shares the story of how he discovered his love of stained glass in 1981 after wandering into a studio/stained glass retail shop where he took classes on creating stained glass art and later began to design and build windows on consignment. Mark joined friends Steven and Maureen James as stained glass designer and fabricator when the couple started Glass Patterns Quarterly and is currently the layout artist for GPQ, Glass Art, and The Flow magazines.
