#lampworkglass — Public Fediverse posts

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.

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

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

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

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

I've been finishing as much new work as possible, as it's about to get too cold to work in my studio, at least for a few days. I've used bright colors for this new flamework glass bead necklace. 18 inches on faux leather cord. In my Etsy shop. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1640983480/handmade-18-inch-lampwork-torchwork?click_key=8e62adbc1fc262fb25e300cadef9d361e005bf69%3A1640983480&click_sum=331b2000&ref=shop_home_active_2&frs=1 #glass #beads #glassbeads #hotglass #lampworkglass #lampworkbeads #handmadeglass #handmadebeads #jewelry #necklace #glassart #glassartist #artyoucanwear #studioglass #christofmaupin #pastpresentarts #salemoregon #studiolife #pnw

A new necklace in my Etsy shop. I've used a wide range of powdered enamel colors and frit combinations on clear glass. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1587671178/handmade-lampwork-torchwork-glass-bead?click_key=43877a55f8cdb1c144cfdc4cee440b036c2d5da0%3A1587671178&click_sum=9b8f54cc&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #handmade #MastoArt #glass #GlassArt #GlassArtist #StudioGlass #LampworkGlass #TorchworkGlass #GlassBeads #HandmadeGlass #HandmadeBeads #Necklace #Jewelry #ArtYouCanWear #PastPresentArts #ChristofMaupin #SalemOregon

Fuck. I killed Homeless Santa. Again. ☠️🤦‍♀️🎅

#HomelessSanta #LampWorkGlass

Just 45 days until the big Salem Etsy Team Handmade Holiday Market. 150 vendors (including me) at the Oregon State Fairgrounds. We've had thousands of attendees in past years, buying every kind of handmade goods. Free parking, free admission, door prizes and more. I'll have lots of new work for you. More details as we get closer to the day. #handmademarket #MastoArt #holidaymarket #salemoregon #buyhandmade #buylocal #pastpresentarts #christofmaupin #hotglass #lampworkglass #artyoucanwear

One of several new pieces in my Etsy shop (link in profile). 18 inch necklace in opaque colors: carrot red, grasshopper green and yellow beads made at my torch, all from Moretti glass. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1587438883/handmade-torchwork-lampwork-glass-bead?click_key=43e09a6b0b82600e4ef384e7e7b9c17b19c9acad%3A1587438883&click_sum=786e92f3&ref=shop_home_active_15&frs=1 #MastoArt #Handmade #handmadeglass #handmadebeads #handmadeglassbeads #lampwork #lampworkglass #lampworkbeads #torchwork #christofmaupin #pastpresentarts #artyoucanwear #studioglass #artglass #muranoglass #realhandmade #BuyHandmade

A stand-alone bead of Murano electric blue and bright green transparent glass, with splashes of purple and marbled blue opaque, some slices of Millefiori cane, and a dusting of blue and green enamel powders. Excuse my nails! Between torch time and other studio activity, my hands are a wreck. #MastoArt #Handmade #hotglass #glassartist #glassart #studioglass #lampworkglass #torchworkglass #artyoucanwear #beads #glassbeads #handmadebeads #handmadeglass #christofmaupin #pastpresentarts #salemoregon

New in my Etsy shop, this blue glass necklace with bi-conical beads, based on a type that was widespread during the Roman Empire. My concession to modernity is the large focal beads, with enamel, millefiori cane, blue and green transparent and touches of other types of glass. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1581110697/handmade-lampwork-torchwork-glass-bead?click_key=4fcfdccc93268b08987679a8209b61bff21e3d0c%3A1581110697&click_sum=85e135dc&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #HotGlass #Handmade #MastoArt #lampworkglass #torchworkglass #artyoucanwear #studioglass #salemoregon

I periodically sort through my leftovers - excess beads from a project, some a bit wonky, experiments, etc. - and stitch together a complete necklace or bracelet. Here's the latest example: feels a bit ancient, like something excavated. The lentil shaped focal bead has a slice of Millefiori cane melted in. #handmade #MastoArt #handmadeglass #handmadebeads #lampworkglass #lampworkbeads #lampworking #millefiori #crazyquilt #artyoucanwear #studioglass #christofmaupin #pastpresentarts #salemoregon

Overthinking a project leads to inertia. Rather than becoming frustrated, it's best to just clear the mind, pick up some glass, any glass, fire up the torch and make something. These beads are clear glass with a thick trail of opaque marbled blue, encased in another layer of clear. Simple. Looks great in direct sunlight. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1514135051/handmade-lampwork-glass-bead-necklace-in?click_key=8d3256097f622dd5e4a832b76083df8b12540444%3A1514135051&click_sum=c9b5b38e&ref=shop_home_active_1&pro=1&frs=1 #lampworkglass #hotglass #necklace #handmade #beads #muranoglass #glassart #glassartist #artyoucanwear #madeinoregon #pnw #christofmaupin #salemoregon

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

Just a tiny implosion bead, imploding its way through life... #glass #glassart #glassartist #beads #implosionbead #implosionglass #lampworkglass #lampworkbeads #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

New in my shop, something with a woodsy, earthy feel.

What a great day I had yesterday at Willamette Heritage Center's Sheep to Shawl Festival! Amazing staff and volunteers, smart and engaged visitors / customers, and plenty of fun for all. Here's a small sample of the work I sold yesterday (earrings not shown, as I sold so many pairs!). #willametteheritagecenter #sheeptoshawl #art #buyartfromartists #glass #hotglass #glassart #glassartist #lampwork #lampworkglass #lampworkbeads #lampworkjewelry #salemoregon

Catch me 2 weeks from today at the Willamette Heritage Center 10 AM-4 PM for the 38th Annual Sheep to Shawl Festival. I'll have lots of new hot glass work for sale. There will be sheep (of course), llamas, alpacas and other furry friends, textile artists, lace makers, a blacksmith, and more. Free, plenty of parking. See you then. #sheeptoshawlfestival #hotglass #lampworkglass #torchwork #flameworking #Mothersday2023 #christofmaupin #pastpresentart #glassart #glassartist #madeinoregon

These won't be in my Etsy shop, but they were fun to make and will be available at my next couple of in-person shows here in Salem -- including this Sunday, April 2, from Noon to 5 at the Salem Convention Center. Simple multicolor lampwork beads combined with stamped and textured bronze discs and copper ear wires. Which pair is your favorite? #earrings #jewelry #bronze #glass #lampworkglass #lampworkbeads #salemoregon #hotglass #madeinoregon

A bit of fun here. A BIG focal bead encased in clear, with short tubular or barrel beads to the sides. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1038025507/handmade-lampwork-glass-bead-necklace-on?click_key=cedcb87b0a627efe3a3519942d9de3221401f8b8%3A1038025507&click_sum=bc574855&ref=shop_home_active_7&frs=1 #MastoArt #MastoGlass #glass #glassart #glassartist #HotGlass #LampworkGlass #Necklace #Jewelry #ArtYouCanWear #Oregon #PNW

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

Spring is 2 weeks away, but it doesn't feel like it yet here in the #pacificnorthwest -- so I sorted through my #morettiglass colors: Carrot Red, Sky Blue, Light Blue, Grasshopper Green & Pea Green. This feels very Spring-like.

A bit of fun here. Maraschino cherry red 🍒 transparent body and deep purple 💜 transparent handle.

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! 🔥.
