I sold these pieces and many more to a group of friends yesterday, all part of lightening the load for my big move to Las Cruces, New Mexico next month. #lampwork #hotglass #glassart #artyoucanwear #torchwork #glassartist #glass #handmade #beads #jewelry #glassbeads #athensohio #LasCrucesNM

Turns out today was Global Work From Home Day. Guess I was late to the party. Anyway, I work from home. And here are some images of what I do with some glass and fire. #workfromhomeday #handmade #art #glass #hotglass #studioart #studioglass #artyoucanwear #lampwork #flamework #torchwork #beads #glassbeads #jewelry #design #color #handmadeglass #handmadebeads #pastpresentarts #christofmaupin #athensohio #buyartfromartists

Some pics from the #handsoff protest today in little Athens, Ohio. At least 300 people! #athensohio #fucktrump #FuckTesla #HandsOffSocialSecurity

I made these beads at the torch using transparent red and topaz glass, arranging the red beads to one side, and topaz to the other. The focal bead is red glass encased in clear, with fused gold mica on the surface. Handmade glass art from my studio.

Sometimes, when working on a larger piece, I pause for a bit and just make something else, like a random bead, pendant, or sculpture. This is a large, thick pendant bead with a core of fire engine red opaque glass, and marbling in other opaque colors, including teal, orange, grey, beige and yellow. I've mounted it on brass wire, before suspending it from a faux leather cord. #glass #beads #handmade #lampwork #glassart #glassartist #glassbeads #glasspendant #studioglass #artyoucanwear #athensohio

Something simple for Sunday. I used transparent emerald green glass to make these beads, then added a thick thread of opaque pale green for contrast. The punched out brass discs beneath I heated, then allowed to develop a natural patina over several months outdoors. The ear wires are pure copper.

Staying in the studio to stay sane. Please don't be one of those followers who dumps people just because the election is over, and they don't post enough political stuff. I'm still here, not going to Canada, prepared to resist, still making hot glass. You can find this bracelet here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1809964048/handmade-lampwork-glass-bead-bracelet-in?click_key=1a76ae6ee9096a782b0f49aded388d9c8edba04e%3A1809964048&click_sum=ab6a67d7&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #hotglass #glassart #glassartist #HandmadeArt #BuyArtFromArtists #athensohio #MadeInOhio #Handmade

I've used a transparent smoke colored glass to make these beads, along with champagne and white overlaid with dark purple that appears black in all but bright natural light, and some opaque earth tones. I've also used two-part hand held presses, tong presses and a corduroy marver to create the unusual shapes and textures https://www.etsy.com/listing/1791491981/handmade-lampwork-torchwork-glass-bead?click_key=66f2724b349e4dadf7b157d80fd4793f83aa187b%3A1791491981&click_sum=287971db&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #lampworking #lampworkglass #lampworkbeads #HotGlass #glassart #glassartist #christofmaupin #pastpresentart #athensohio #madeinohio #handmade #MastoArt

Baking soda can be used to create a texture to glass beads or other glass objects. Far left, the only effect is blending of two colors around the equator of the bead, which retains it's shine. Further right, the blending is more thorough, with a "metallic" surface appearance. Far right, bubbly surface from bursting bubbles, like some cratered distant moon. #Beads #MastoArt #handmade #handmadegass #lampworking #glassart #glassartist #HotGlass #christofmaupin #pastpresentarts #AthensOhio

Something new in my Etsy shop. I used 3 types of blue to make the beads for this piece: both dark and light opaque marbled blue and transparent electric blue. I mixed electric blue and light marbled with blue enamel for the large focal bead. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1772712848/necklace-of-handmade-lampwork-glass?click_key=55625740609dcef2cf651653d867e3634a88f370%3A1772712848&click_sum=35a48eac&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #MastoArt #glass #beads #handmade #HotGlass #lampwork #torchwork #flamework #ArtYouCanWear #ArtGlass #GlassArt #StudioGlass #athensohio #madeinohio #ohioart #ohioartist #GlassBeads #glassbeadsjewelry #pastpresentarts #christofmaupin

Something new in my Etsy shop: I made these beads based on techniques and styles found in Anglo-Saxon beads found in England from the mid-4th to 7th Century CE. This piece is 19 inches long. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1783900995/handmade-lampwork-glass-bead-necklace-in?click_key=a7088d24ccfc52a7661bdd403756c629b97f7e84%3A1783900995&click_sum=45cb1cfb&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #HotGlass #lampwork #beads #handmade #artyoucanwear #StudioGlass #ArtGlass #MadeInOhio #AthensOhio #MastoArt

I finished this piece over the weekend. Is it geological? Woodsy? Avant-garde? However you interpret it, I think it turned out pretty well. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1766253969/handmade-lampwork-glass-bead-20-inch #glassart #glassartist #hotglass #lampwork #torchwork #flamework #lampworkjewelry #beads #glassbeads #artyoucanwear #athensohio #madeinohio #PastPresentArt #christofmaupin

I have over a dozen pieces available now at the Athens Hot Glass shop! Flamework glass bead necklaces in enamel colors, flameworked pendants, glass bead bracelets, and earrings in copper and sterling silver featuring my glass beads. Stop by the shop, at 21 Kern Street in Athens, to see my work and make a purchase for yourself or a friend. #handmade #lampwork #torchwork #flamework #glassbeads #glassart #glassartist #HotGlass #artyoucanwear #christofmaupin #pastpresentarts #athensohio #ohioartist

It may never be pretty, but it's functional. I'm up and running in my new studio, the old metal-roofed cinder block building on the property. I've run power 150 feet to the structure, cleared it of debris, etc. and am set up with a hot head. Lots of tweaking to get the space up to the condition I'd like, but it'll do for now. #athensohio #ohioartist #ohioart #ohioglass #HotGlass #GlassArt #GlassArtist #Lampwork #torchwork #flamework #artyoucanwear #glassstudio #ChristofMaupin #PastPresentArts

While work progresses on my new studio space, I'm fiddling about with loose beads, enamel and metal components, and other bits and bobs, to assemble some simple new pendant pieces. #glass #beads #hotglass #lampwork #torchwork #pendants #handmade #enamel #glassart #glassartist #artyoucanwear #athensohio #madeinohio #MastoArt

West Coast and East Coast friends: I've arrived in Athens, OH. I've been unpacking and organizing. Here's a view out the window: Lush, green woodlands that slope down the hill. Started my first morning with a friendly chipmunk and birds just inches from my window (that's my British Bobby bear on the window sill, not a large, well dressed chipmunk). Stay tuned for updates. #athensohio #ohioart #ohioartist #Lampwork #GlassArt #glassartist #chipmunk

I'm moving! I'll still be creating work in hot glass, offering that work at markets, festivals, etc., and my Etsy shop, but in a different place: Athens, OH, an hour from Columbus and home to Ohio University. You can still find my work on Etsy (link in profile). If you live in central or southeast Ohio, I'll see you soon!. #pastpresentarts #christofmaupin #hotglass #lampwork #lampworkglass #ohioartist #ohioart #athensohio #athensohioartist #athensohioart #Ohio #MastoArt #Handmade

This is a true story. My girlfriend and I were out hunting morels today. We didn’t find any, but we found lots of spring ephemerals that she picked and placed at the Morchella Altar we built on the ridge. Less than 200 yards later, she spotted this little bugger (a black morel — Morchella angusticeps). Thank you, Morchella. Here’s to a great morel season. #fungi #morels #mushrooms #athensohio

Today’s eastern box turtles. Caught in the act. #turtles #turtlesofmastodon #turtlesallthewaydown #athensohio

Went to my favorite green house and got all kinds of plant babies! Here's hoping I don't kill them all. 😁☘️🌞
