Anyone have a job in the PNW they got without a degree or paying for certifications/training out of pocket?
If so, what is it, do you like it, and generally how do you feel about it?

A new piece in my Etsy shop. This 18.50 inch necklace features barrel shaped beads in dark transparent blue that I've encased in a pale amethyst glass, and donut shaped beads in marbled blue glass, with silver colored spacers. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1714976045/lampwork-glass-bead-necklace-in-marbled?click_key=a51d755aee89655c6601248d63514dd09dd54343%3A1714976045&click_sum=662f2af5&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #handmade #MastoArt #HotGlass #lampwork #beads #handmade glass #handmadebeads #glassbeads #jewelry #necklace #artyoucanwear #studioglass #glassart #glassartist #salemoregon #pnw #pastpresentart #christofmaupin #glassdesign #artlovers #artoftheday

I can never get enough blue; all kinds of blue. In this new piece, I used a marbled blue to make the donut beads, a deep transparent blue for the tubular beads, and a pale transparent amethyst for the focal bead, enhanced with the other two blues.

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

I've been making lots of work with purple and violet shades of glass lately. I think Winter makes me shift to that end of the spectrum. In any event, here are some violet beads I made for earrings. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1531762498/handmade-lampwork-glass-bead-earrings-in?click_key=49745c526dae25052716a86e43082211a0fe4a46%3A1531762498&click_sum=ff2fbb65&ref=shop_home_active_29&frs=1 #handmade #MastoArt #earrings #hotglass #glassart #glassartist #pnw #oregon #salemoregon #artyoucanwear #jewelry #beads #glassbeads #handmadeglass #handmadebeads #studioglass

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

Added to my shop today: I used transparent shades of violet-blue glass, and opaque blue and purple glass to make the beads. This necklace is 19 inches long. In my shop here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1651636425/handmade-lampwork-glass-bead-necklace-in?click_key=2b4f04e395bb4f4d97921c80a434e64c302660ed%3A1651636425&click_sum=5d1980d6&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #handmade #MastoArt #HotGlass #GlassArt #GlassArtist #ArtYouCanWear #StudioGlass #beads #GlassBeads #HandmadeGlass #HandmadeBeads #Lampwork #Torchwork #Flamework #PNW #SalemOregon #StudioGlass #StudioArt #EtsyShop

Happy first Friday of 2024. I shot this little video last night. When your beads have cooled, you've cleaned them up, assembled them, added spacers and a toggle, and you hold it up to the light in your studio and think: Yeah, that works. It's good. I'm loving those shades of transparent purple. #MastoArt #Handmade #glassbeads #studioglass #handmadeglass #handmadebeads #salemoregon #pnw #artyoucanwear #hotglass #glassart #glassart #studioglass #purple #beads #jewelry #studiolife

Finishing up a new piece with shades of blue encased in clear, and bits of shiny coppery gold. Not in my shop yet, but will be soon, along with a few more new pieces. Stay tuned... #handmade #MastoArt #hotglass #glassart #glassartist #lampwork #studioglass #glassbeads #handmadebeads #handmadeglass #artyoucanwear #pnw #salemoregon

Last post for '23, finished on the torch yesterday. 18.5 inch necklace, featuring 2 shades of transparent red, opaque charcoal, sandstone and brown, transparent amethyst and violet. I've sketched out many new works for next year. Enjoy the end of this trip around the sun. See you in '24. #hotglass #lampwork #flameworking #artyoucanwear #glass #beads #handmadeglass #handmadebeads #necklace #handmadejewelry #triparoundthesun #salemoregon #pnw https://www.etsy.com/listing/1646627481/handmade-lampworktorchwork-glass-bead?click_key=86e3bb491b3d42a1d21bd1ff1032b576a2912b0d%3A1646627481&click_sum=2c76f68f&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1

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

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

New in my shop and practically still warm from my torch is this necklace of somewhat muted, earthy tones, all in Murano glass. I've chosen opaque sandstone, opaque marbled golden brown, opaque marbled charcoal, opaque orange rock, black on white, and transparent dark topaz as my colors. Here's the link: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1569573516/handmade-lampwork-hot-glass-necklace-in?click_key=87b15c1b8bbe869329124b468ad5eb4aeec84913%3A1569573516&click_sum=ebcf0a1e&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #MastoArt #Handmade #HotGlass #artyoucanwear #necklace #jewelry #handmadebeads #handmadeglass #studioglass #salemoregon

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

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

A day's worth of beads in a range of sizes and styles, mostly for earrings but other items, as well, and all done smack in the middle of moving house / studio! Well, no matter what, the flame must be kept alive, LOL! #beads #glassbeads #lampworkbeads #lampwork #handmadebeads #handmadeglass #hotglass #pastpresentarts #christofmaupin #salemoregon #MastoArt

Brand-new piece in my shop. I just cannot get enough of this marbled Murano blue. But I used the last of it on this new necklace. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1524280990/handmade-lampwork-torchwork-glass-bead?click_key=2921e4e55ee27bfa50e23b7772b5874bce296b4d%3A1524280990&click_sum=5f5845db&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #handmade #handmadeglass #handmadebeads #glassbeads #necklace #studioglass #artglass #artyoucanwear #buyartfromartists #muranoglass #hotglass #salemoregon #madeinoregon

Another pair of earrings today, this time with beads I made from transparent yellow and semi-opaque mango glass, rolled in very fine frit, suspended from copper ear wires, and with textured bronze strips suspended beneath. Warm colors all around. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1524021267/drop-earrings-featuring-handmade?click_key=0efe6bbcce8e3622a5ab5ee5c95f68957817041d%3A1524021267&click_sum=ad4f8253&ref=shop_home_active_2&pro=1&frs=1#handmade #handmadejewelry #hotglass #handmadebeads #handmadeglass #glassbeads #earrings #lampworkbeads #lampwork #MastoArt #christofmaupin #pastpresentarts #madeinoregon #pnw #salemoregon #buyartfromartists #buylocalart

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

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
