#hotglass — Public Fediverse posts

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.

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: https://ko-fi.com/s/e53cc19c1d #handmade #MastoArt #hotglass #lampworking #flameworking #artyoucanwear #Studioglass #glassart #glassartist

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. https://ko-fi.com/s/5d26437cf9#Handmade #MastoArt #glass #beads #jewelry #necklace #artyoucanwear #artglass #glassart #glassartist #flameworking #hotglass #tropicalfish #MakeArtUntilTheWorldBurns

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. https://ko-fi.com/s/04b320188d #handmade #glass #beads #necklace #jewelry #hotglass #lampworking #artyoucanwear #glassart #glassartist

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. https://ko-fi.com/s/8fc53454b6 #handmade #HotGlass #MastoArt #lampworking #beads #glass #glassbeads #jewelry #design #buyartfromartists

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

The only thing that's as much fun as working with some new colors is opening the box! #Lampwork #lampworking #lampworkbeads #lampworkglass #torchwork #flameworking #hotglass #artyoucanwear #effetre #morettiglass #pastpresentarts #christofmaupin #handmadeglass #handmadeglassbeads #glassbeads #glassbeadsjewelry #beads #studioglass #artglass #glassart #glassartist

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

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

I'll be a vendor at this market at the State Fairgrounds here in Salem. I'll be there Saturday, March 9 only. Looking forward to seeing some of my Oregon friends there. #glass #beads #handmade #jewelry #HotGlass #artyoucanwear #lampwork #torchwork #flamework #glassbeads #handmadeglass #handmadebeads #glassart #glassartist #studioglass #christofmaupin #pastpresentarts #vendormarket #artisanmarket #makersmarket #handcrafted #supportlocalbusiness #shoplocal #supportlocalartists #salemoregon

Well, I thought I was all done with markets this year, but here's one last show for those last minute shoppers. I'll be there Saturday only, 11-5, at 1105 Edgewater St NW in West Salem. Drop by if you're in the neighborhood. Definitely the last chance to find me in-person this year. #handmade #MastoArt #buyhandmade #buylocal #buylocalart #artisanmarket #lastminuteshopping #salemoregon #pnw #glass #hotglass #glassart #glassartist #studioglass #studioart #artyoucanwear #lampwork #flameworking

A new piece I've made using transparent light rose, clear, and light yellow glass, over which I've applied enamels in pale pink, orange, beige and yellow. The focal bead is clear glass with added opaque threads and orange enamel. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1573296006/handmade-lampwork-torchwork-glass-bead?click_key=153777117b994c8669f1a80e50dc8892a50d746e%3A1573296006&click_sum=9dcbfd12&ref=shop_home_active_13&frs=1 #hotglass #beads #glassbeads #handmadeglass #handmadebeads #lampwork #lampworking #artyoucanwear #holidayshopping #buyhandmade #buyartfromartists #christofmaupin #pastpresentarts #glassart #glassartist #salemoregon

I'm taking a very short break from the torch, focusing on fused glass. Here's something new. I'll be adding new lampwork glass and fused glass to my shop in a couple of weeks. Until then, busy busy in the studio. #MastoArt #glass #hotglass #fusedglass #glassart #glassartist #fusedglassart #green #handmadeglass #artyoucanwear #oregonglass #salemoregon #pastpresentarts #christofmaupin

Catch me in West Salem this Saturday for At The Corner gallery's Saturday artisan market. 1105 Edgewater St NW, Salem, OR 97304, from 11 AM - 5 PM. #handmade #MastoArt #salemoregon #artisanmarket #hotglass #glassart #glassartist

Made with the upcoming Englewood Forest Festival in mind, this 20-inch necklace features woodsy earth tones in opaque browns, transparent green and topaz, and spacers, crimp beads and closure in gold and coppery colors. Hope to see my local peeps at the Festival, August 12 in Englewood Park, Salem, Oregon. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1519803096/handmade-lampwork-glass-beads-necklace?click_key=4048b0ad7bfc36c2505e778d09b0e4996cc0fd37%3A1519803096&click_sum=92f4defe&ref=shop_home_active_1&pro=1&frs=1 #hotglass #glassart #glassartist #glassbeads #handmade #lampwork #muranoglass #madeinoregon #pnw #oregonglass #buyartfromartists #buylocal #englewoodforestfestival

This sweet beauty is sold and on its way shortly to a customer here in Oregon. This beautiful Murano topaz glass goes really well with transparent electric blue, and I'm working on another piece now that will feature those 2 colors. #hotglass #lampwork #lampworkbeads #lampworkjewelry #glassbeadnecklace #glassart #glassartist #handmadeglass #handmadebeads #madeinoregon #oregonglass #madeinthepnw #pnwglass #salemoregon #christofmaupin #pastpresentarts #sold

I haven't been posting much lately because I've been in my studio working long hours. Sneak peek at a couple of works in progress. I have a series of pieces to create for a gallery here in Salem (more on that in a few weeks), as well as a long checklist of works for upcoming shows and my Etsy shop. I'll post finished work here as it becomes available. #hotglass #glassart #glassartist #lampwork #lampworkglass #lampworkjewelry #beads #glassbeads #oregonglass #salemoregon #christofmaupin #MastoArt

Working on my glass sculpting skills. Use it or lose it, as they say. Here's a tiny mug with a bouquet of flowers. #hotglass #glasssculpture #glassart #glassartist #lampwork #lampworkglass #madeinoregon #oregonglass #oregonart #oregonartist #pnwglass #miniatureglass #miniaturesculpture #christofmaupin #salemoregon

You can't go wrong with black and white. A little two-tone bracelet in my Etsy shop. Black and white opaque Murano glass with a decorative pewter toggle. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1504394069/handmade-lampwork-glass-bead-bracelet-in?click_key=0e645d37700b679448cfdb00647adbe3882c6ec0%3A1504394069&click_sum=a3927696&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #hotglass #lampworkjewelry #lampworkbeads #handmadebeads #glassbeads #bracelets #beadedbracelets #torchwork #flamework #twotone #blackandwhite #madeinoregon #salemoregon #pnw #oregonglass #glassart #glassartist #artyoucanwear #MastoArt

Making more hot glass earrings to replenish my stocks, as I sell so many. No two are alike, which may be why they sell so well. These are never in my Etsy shop. You'll need to track me down at a show, fair or festival. I post a schedule on the front page of my Etsy shop (link in profile). #earrings #glassbeads #hotglass #lampworkglass #lampworkbeads #lampworkjewelry #torchwork #handmadebeads #christofmaupin #madeinoregon #oregonglass #pnwartist #oregonartist #glassart #glassartist #salemoregon

I did a little pop-up market on very short notice yesterday in West Salem. Had a great time. Here are some of the goodies I sold... #HotGlass #Enamel #Handmade #glassart #glassartist #salemoregon #pnw #oregonglass #lampworkglass #torchwork #jewelry #handmade #MastoArt

Hello Salem area people. I'll be offering my work for sale this Saturday, June 3, from 11 AM to 5 PM, at West Salem's At the Corner Artisan Market, 1105 Edgewater Street NW (at the corner of McNary). It's indoors, free, and has parking. I hope you'll drop by and check out my hot glass artwork. #Saturday #salemoregon #ArtisanMarket #HotGlass #BuyArtFromArtists #MastoArt

What a great day I had yesterday, teaching this little group of students the basics of lampworking and glass bead making at the amazing Hopewell Hub in Hopewell, OR. Not only were they eager and very focused, they looked super cool in their matching protective eyewear! #glass #glassart #lampworking #flameworking #torchworking #hotglass #students #teaching #pastpresentarts #christofmaupin #oregonart #oregonartists #MastoArt

Something new in my shop. Lots of color. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1448475696/handmade-lampwork-glass-bead-necklace-19?click_key=be16ec3822810577dc53d1b7f6ebceabfaa52c68%3A1448475696&click_sum=dd5a92ec&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #hotglass #handmadeglass #glassart #glassartist #beads #glassbeads #lampworkbeads #lampworking #glassbeadnecklace #glassbeadjewelry #artyoucanwear #artforsalebyartist #oregon #pacificnorthwest #etsy

I rarely put earrings in my Etsy shop, on account of their affordability. But I make great numbers of them for street fairs, festivals, etc. These 2 are new. The hearts I made on a small ❤️ shaped steel mandrel, while for the bronze discs - which I avoided making exactly the same - I made tiny beads of yellow and orange Murano glass. #earrings #handmade #handmadeearrings #handmadejewelry #hotglass #lampworking #lampworkbeads #madeinoregon #salemoregon #christofmaupin #artyoucanwear #MastoArt

I couldn't resist making another miniature sculpture. This is even smaller, measuring just 1.4 inches tall. The flower can be removed, and the jug worn on a chain. The jug was made on a mandrel, just like a bead, but closed on one end. The flower was made off-mandrel. All Murano glass. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1436412367/handmade-lampwork-blue-topaz-miniature?click_key=d684d0e48f7e648ef2026874d540092f1272100c%3A1436412367&click_sum=c9633274&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #glass #beads #glassminiature #miniaturesculpture #hotglass #glassart #glassartist #hotglass #lampworkglass #lampworking #pacificnorthwest #christofmaupin #salemoregon

It may be unusually warm in some parts of the country, but here in the #pacificnorthwest we're still getting plenty of snow and rain, with more on the way. So here's something more green and Spring-like: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1147346688/green-glass-handmade-beaded-necklace-on?click_key=22acd895ee47d8901bdfdf853634375745c3a3f0%3A1147346688&click_sum=027c4b29&ref=shop_home_active_31&frs=1 #MastoArt #glass #beads #Lampworking #hotglass #necklace #jewelry #handmade #Etsy

This is all about red! Murano glass with added frit and threads of clear, white and yellow: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1371197261/handmade-lampwork-glass-bead-necklace?click_key=bcd31153a361739c9d5eac98d9ac665695e2f638%3A1371197261&click_sum=fe86dd0f&ref=shop_home_active_5&frs=1 #glass #GlassArt #GlassArtist #MastoArt #Lampworking #HotGlass #RedGlass #MuranoGlass #Etsy #oregon #pacificnorthwest

A piece that combines variously colored powdered enamels encased under clear glass with variously colored frit. The results can be somewhat unpredictable, which is part of the fun. It requires some discipline to prevent the enamels from burning / discoloring before they can be encased, and prevent the frit from spreading out and losing color intensity. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1359211144/handmade-lampwork-glass-necklace-of?click_key=21e5d0b78498c89ea0d0ddb8b7c00bd8145f253e%3A1359211144&click_sum=7b87ec17&ref=shop_home_active_29&frs=1 #glass #enamel #frit #HotGlass #lampworking #torch #GlassArt #GlassArtist #oregon #SalemOregon #ChristofMaupin #MastoArt

A bit of fun here. Maraschino cherry red 🍒 transparent body and deep purple 💜 transparent handle. I might put this on a silver chain or suspend it from a black leather cord. #hotglass #glass #glassart #glassartist #glassartistsofinstagram #muranoglass #lampworkglass #lampworkartist #flameworking #torchwork #miniature #miniatureglass #miniaturevase #miniaturepitcher #oregonart #oregonglass #oregonglassartist #pacificnorthwest #pacificnorthwestartist #christofmaupin #salemoregon #MastoArt

Two shades of red, two shades of blue, clear, a few slices of millefiori cane, a dash of colorful frit, and a sprinkling of enamel powder on this lentil-shaped focal bead. All Murano glass. Happy Friday! 🔥.

I have one more show left for 2022. Any Salem, OR area peeps who missed me at the Etsy Sellers show this past weekend can find me here this coming Saturday, all details on the flyer. I'll be in booth D16, in the big dining room.

This is a piece from about 18 months ago. Still in my inventory. Big, chunky beads of opaque light purple, with swirls of semi-opaque white and dark blue, with some bits of copper frit added. I should use this combination again!
