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

The first few bits from my new studio. After 6 weeks away from the torch, I spent the first few days regaining muscle memory in my hands. These are new pieces with the first few beads. 3 pair of earrings in copper, including 2 with hand hammered copper and bronze discs, 3 pair in sterling silver, and a heart pendant in transparent pink, mango, orange and oxblood. IWorking on more elaborate pieces, so stay tuned. #ohioart #ohioartist #glassart #glassartist #hotglass #lampwork #MastoArt #Handmade

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

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
