Turns out today was Global Work From Home Day. Guess I was late to the party. Anyway, I work from home. And here are some images of what I do with some glass and fire. #workfromhomeday #handmade #art #glass #hotglass #studioart #studioglass #artyoucanwear #lampwork #flamework #torchwork #beads #glassbeads #jewelry #design #color #handmadeglass #handmadebeads #pastpresentarts #christofmaupin #athensohio #buyartfromartists

A reminder that our Spring Art Fair is this coming weekend, 12th & 13th April, in the Octagon, Pavilion Gardens, Buxton, open 10am to 4pm.
You may hear reports that the A515 is closed this weekend at the Brierlow Bar junction. A, not too onerous, diversion will be in place via Old Coal Pit Lane and the A6 - Buxton is not cut off! We are really looking forward to seeing you all 
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: https://ko-fi.com/s/d34d26b6cd #handmade #MastoArt #HotGlass #lampwork #necklace #jewelry #beads #GlassArt #GlassArtist #BuyArtFromArtists
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.

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

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. https://ko-fi.com/s/bb8f0cd0f1 #handmade #hotglass #earrings #lampwork #glassart #glassartist #buyartfromartists #MastoArt #flamework

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.

I won't be shipping any holiday purchases after today, but if you are local (Athens County, Ohio area) other arrangements can be made.

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: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1809964048/handmade-lampwork-glass-bead-bracelet-in?click_key=1a76ae6ee9096a782b0f49aded388d9c8edba04e%3A1809964048&click_sum=ab6a67d7&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #hotglass #glassart #glassartist #HandmadeArt #BuyArtFromArtists #athensohio #MadeInOhio #Handmade
