  1. 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

  2. With Spring arriving, here's something new. I've used opaque glass in various shades of green and grey to make this, with added frit on the focal bead. It's in my shop here: ko-fi.com/s/d34d26b6cd #handmade #MastoArt #HotGlass #lampwork #necklace #jewelry #beads #GlassArt #GlassArtist #BuyArtFromArtists

  3. 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.

  4. Back on the torch again, after a long break imposed on me by circumstances. Experimenting with some new colors and color combinations. Much more coming soon. #glass #hotglass #lampwork #torchwork #flamework #beads #glassbeads #studiolife #GlassStudio #handmade

  5. 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. In my Ko-fi shop (link in my profile). #earrings #beads #glass #hotglass #lampwork #glassart #glassartist #jewelry #simplesunday #athensohio #handmade #MastoArt

  6. Friday fun: Lentil shaped opaque glass pendant. I used light sky blue glass, manipulating the hot glass with brass tools. Why brass? Because the copper in the brass, combined with the slightly "dirty" flame from a hothead torch, interacts chemically with this blue to form the rust red splotches. Strung on faux leather with silver wire, spacer beads, and lobster claw clasp

  7. In the midst of all this madness, I'm posting a pair of earrings. Why? Because it's a brief distraction, but also because I could never put these in my Etsy shop; it wasn't worth it. Now that I'm shifting my work to my Ko-fi store, I can share these online. For this silver pair, I made spheres of opaque light blue and rolled them in multicolored frit while white hot. ko-fi.com/s/bb8f0cd0f1 #handmade #hotglass #earrings #lampwork #glassart #glassartist #buyartfromartists #MastoArt #flamework

  8. Another little something simple: opaque green and orange-red beads I made on the torch, along with brass pendants I made by cutting, annealing and stamping the metal.

  9. Here's a little something I made recently. A 19-inch long necklace of clear glass beads I rolled in colored enamels while white hot, then encased in more clear glass. It's in my Ko-fi shop, here: ko-fi.com/s/e53cc19c1d #handmade #MastoArt #hotglass #lampworking #flameworking #artyoucanwear #Studioglass #glassart #glassartist

  10. Good morning friends. It's difficult to say those words when we all know what we must stand and confront for the next 4 years, and possibly more. But I must go on making my art at the torch. Here's a piece with lots of little fish I sculpted in the flame. And here's a link to it in my Ko-fi shop. ko-fi.com/s/5d26437cf9#Handmad #MastoArt #glass #beads #jewelry #necklace #artyoucanwear #artglass #glassart #glassartist #flameworking #hotglass #tropicalfish #MakeArtUntilTheWorldBurns

  11. Like so many artists, I'm moving my online presence away from Etsy. Despite their transparently defensive claims to the contrary, and an abundance of nonsensical "happy talk" by their marketing team, Etsy has become an outlet for cheap, machine made, imported junk. Artists with personal and creative integrity are fleeing the Etsy brand in hordes. Much of my work can now be found on my Ko-fi site: ko-fi.com/christofmaupin07 #goodbyeEtsy #Kofi #handmade #hotglass #glassart #glassartist #lampwork

  12. SOLD! A new piece in my Ko-fi shop. I used semi opaque shades of light blue glass to make the beads, then rolled them in blue, purple and green shades of enamel powder while white hot, putting them briefly back in the torch flame to fuse and melt. ko-fi.com/s/04b320188d #handmade #glass #beads #necklace #jewelry #hotglass #lampworking #artyoucanwear #glassart #glassartist

  13. Another pair of earrings, this with transparent yellow and semi opaque canary beads I made at the torch, and some brass pendants I cut out and hammered. In my Ko-fi shop. ko-fi.com/s/8fc53454b6 #handmade #HotGlass #MastoArt #lampworking #beads #glass #glassbeads #jewelry #design #buyartfromartists

  14. I won't be shipping any holiday purchases after today, but if you are local (Athens County, Ohio area) other arrangements can be made. Dozens of pieces in my Etsy shop here, and many more than are not (copy and paste the link): pastpresentartcraft.etsy.com #etsyshop #etsyseller #handmade #hotglass #glassart #glassartist #artyoucanwear #glass #holidaygifts #shophandmade #buyartfromartists #MastoArt

  15. 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: etsy.com/listing/1809964048/ha #hotglass #glassart #glassartist #HandmadeArt #BuyArtFromArtists #athensohio #MadeInOhio #Handmade

  16. I used 2 types of colored mica fused to shades of transparent glass while in the torch flame to make the beads for this necklace, inspired by the iridescence one finds on ancient and other historic glass. Here's a link to it in my Etsy shop: etsy.com/listing/1804747254/ha #beads #glass #glassbeads #handmade #lampwork #hotglass #MastoArt

  17. This is very similar to a piece I created and posted here a couple of weeks ago, using the same baking soda technique, but I used a wider and brighter range of colors. Overall, I like this one better than the previous example. It's in my Etsy shop now (link in my profile). #handmade #glass #hotglass #lampwork #torchwork #artyoucanwear #handmadeglass #handmadebeads #lampworkjewelry #beads #studioglass #artglass #etsyshop #etsyfinds #necklace

  18. A couple of new bits 'n bobs made from some of my lampwork glass beads and enameled copper pendants. Combining glass with enamel is always good. Not in my Etsy shop, but useful to have available for markets, festivals, etc. #handmade #MastoArt #lampworking #glassart #glassartist #HotGlass #enamel

  19. A while back I posted a video showing the effects of baking soda on lampwork soda-lime glass. Well, here's a finished piece in that technique. Note the wide range of surface textures and color blends. This is 18 inches long and in my Etsy shop now: etsy.com/listing/1794464717/ha #lampwork #torchwork #hotglass #handmade #ArtYouCanWear #glassart #studioglass #MastoArt

  20. 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 etsy.com/listing/1791491981/ha #lampworking #lampworkglass #lampworkbeads #HotGlass #glassart #glassartist #christofmaupin #pastpresentart #athensohio #madeinohio #handmade #MastoArt

  21. 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

  22. Just a little something for a Thursday. A bracelet in opaque navy blue glass, with applied frit in pale blue, light green, cream, and pale pink. I'll have this and dozens of hot glass necklaces, earrings, bracelets, pendants, wine glass charms, loose beads, and more at the Alonzo Weed Festival in Amesville, this Saturday at 5 PM. #HandmadeGlass #hotglass #glassart #glassbeads #lampwork #flameworking #torchwork #handmade #artyoucanwear #madeinohio #Amesville #alonzoweedfestival #MastoArt

  23. Hi, everyone! I'll be set up not far from the corner of State and Main Streets in Amesville, for this year's Alonzo Weed Festival, Saturday, August 17, starting 5 PM, offering my hot glass creations. Hope to see you then. #glassart #glassartist #handmade #amesvilleoh #alonzoweedfestival #madeinohio #hotglass #lampwork #torchwork #flameworking #SEOhio #aryoucanwear #buylocal #shoplocal #hockinghills #athenscountyohio

  24. I've just finished this, which is directly based upon ancient Hellenistic and early Roman "evil eye" beads. I've used Murano glass, of course, to make the components. The focal beads is transparent dark violet, the other beads transparent cobalt blue, and the "eyes" opaque yellow, teal and dark red. In my shop now: etsy.com/listing/1754780944/ha #MastoArt #handmade #hotglass #lampwork #studioglass #art #artglass #ArtYouCanWear #MadeInOhio #GlassArtist #glassbeads #jewelry #ArtHistory

  25. 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

  26. 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

  27. Thank you so much to everyone who visited my space at yesterday's 38th Annual Sheep-to-Shawl Festival at the Willamette Heritage Center here in Salem. What a great way to close out my last show in Oregon before relocating! Here are a few of the items I sold to the very engaged and enthusiastic visitors. #HotGlass #GlassArt #GlassArtist #ArtYouCanWear #lampwork #torchwork #flamework #handmade #buyhandmade #shoplocal #shophandmade #pastpresentarts #ChristofMaupin #studioart #studioglass

  28. These bracelets are not in my Etsy shop, but I'll have them and much more {bracelets, necklaces, earrings, wine glass charms, loose beads, and more), at my final 2 shows in Oregon:

    * Saturday, April 27, 10 AM-4 PM Salem Etsy Team Spring 2024 Handmade Market. Scottish Rite Center.
    * Saturday, May 4, 10 AM-4 PM Sheep to Shawl Festival. Willamette Heritage Center.

  29. And now for something completely different! This eclectic piece features sculptural "beads" I made at the torch, all with applied silver leaf, an enameled copper pendant, and more pendants of hammered bronze with concentric designs. Definitely different, but fun to make. And I know someone out there is going to want this. Here's the link: etsy.com/listing/1653672144/ha #Handmade #MastoArt #HotGlass #GlassArt #GlassArtist #Beads #necklace #jewelry #ArtYouCanWear #PNW #oregon #StudioGlass #StudioArt

  30. If you follow me, you know I don't do special work for holidays. I make what I want to make, not what other people want me to make, and I don't conform to the algorithms. But since I'll be working on some sculptural pieces the next few weeks, I thought I'd do some hearts. The one on the chain will be in my Etsy by week's end. #beads #glass #jewelry #pendant #hearts #heartofglass #hotglass #glassartist #glassart #studioglass #studioart #lampwork #lampworkglass #lampworkbeads #oregon #pnw

  31. A short clip from the studio this evening. I'm adding a strand of marbled opaque charcoal glass to a bead of marbled opaque sandstone glass. Then I'll make another in the reverse combination, and so on. Watch for the finished piece in a few days. #MastoArt #beads #glass #handmade #studioart #glassartist #glassart #handmadebeads #handmadeglass #beads #lampwork #torchwork #flamework #hotglass
