Mike Hurst is an Ogden, Utah based lampworker who specializes in pendants, marbles Christmas Ornaments and more. He began working with glass in January of 1994. Since that time he has passionately studied and practiced the art, always striving to perfect his techniques and learn something new. In addition to lampworking, Mike has experience with glass fusing, glass etching and neon sign making.

Mike’s work is inspired by nature’s beauty, pop culture, the strange and macabre. Halloween and Christmas are his favorite holidays, which is noticeable in his work. His Christmas ornaments, octopuses and evil eye jewelry have become some of his most popular items and his signature pieces. 

Mike has been featured in Glassline magazine and several local publications. He and his work will be featured in the 2020 Lifetime Christmas movie "The Christmas Edition" starring Marie Osmond, Carly Hughes, Rob Mayes and Aloma Wright. He sells his work online, locally at The Local Artisan Collective (2371 Kiesel Ave Ogden, UT), at galleries and arts festivals.
