Christof Maupin, Glass ArtistThis is one little piece of a full necklace I'm making in the Hellenistic style (circa 300 BCE), in dark blue transparent glass, with added "eyes" or dots within dots. Watch for the finished piece in a few days. #glass #beads #lampworking #flameworking #Hot_Glass #Studio_Art #hellenistic
I just want to say "thank you" to all the people who regularly hit "like" or "boost" my posts of my glass art. You know who you are (about 12 to 15 on a very regular basis), and that's too many for my fingers to type, as they are often sore from long studio hours. Thank you 🥰 https://pastpresentartcraft.etsy.com #art #MastoArt #handmade #glass #glassart #lampworking #flameworking #artyoucanwear #studio_artist #newmexico #LasCrucesNM
A new piece in my Ko-fi shop, with a rather geological theme. This was fun to make, with lots of layering and blending of various opaque shades, including marbled black and maroon: https://ko-fi.com/s/9f11441593 #handmade #MastoArt #glass #lampworking #lampworkglass #artyoucanwear #jewelry #necklace #LasCrucesNM #NewMexico #NewMexicoGlass #NewMexicoArtist #geologyinspired #geology #handmadeglass #beads #glassbeads #handmadebeads
What a week! Out on the streets for protests & vigils 3 times this week, but I did get some work done. Every bracelet I had sold at the final markets of "25, so I'm making more. Here are a couple of new examples, one bright, the other geological. Glass handmade on the torch. Posting some on Ko-fi next week. #glass #HotGlass #lampworking #glassbeads #lampworkglass #lampworkbracelet #bracelets #newmexicoart #pastpresentart #lascrucesnm #christofmaupin #handmadeglass #artyoucanwear #MastoArt
CanageekDoes anyone know of any Canadian glassblowing suppliers? I'm looking to get a set of BoroTruView 3.0 Lampworking Glasses 33 and a National 3A-B hand torch, and some accessories, and all the suppliers I can find are in the US or UK (and the UK ones don't ship to Canada). Would rather avoid huge tariffs.
Edit: Other non-USA glassblowing suppliers that ship to Canada also welcome!

This isn't in my online shops, as it was really just a color combination experiment. I'll offer it at my next market. A base of opaque lightly marbled cream, overlaid with raked bands of deep dark red, straw yellow, and very light green. #glass #hotglass #lampworking #flameworking #glassart #glassartist #lascruces #newmexico #handmade #art #MastoArt
I ran out of stretch bracelets at my last market, and need to make more. I don't want to make something predictable or cutesy. So I'm pleased with these flat beads using Moretti colors: black marble, marbled grey, pink, creamy white, and deep red., all wrapped in a layer of clear. I think the next few bracelets will also involve blended colors. #beads #glass #GlassBeads #lampworking #lampwork #HotGlass #StudioGlass #ArtGlass #ArtisanGlass #ArtYouCanWear #LasCruces #NewMexico #MastoArt #Handmade
Another new piece in both my Ko-fi and Etsy shops. Just a range of blues, both transparent and opaque. Lightweight. Great for any occasion. Here's a link, and some pics: https://pastpresentartcraft.etsy.com/listing/4353245272/handmade-artisan-studio-glass-bead #handmade #MastoArt #art #glass #glass_art #glass_artist #Hot_Glass #ArtYouCanWear #studio_art #studio_glass #Artisan_Glass #lampworking #pastpresentart #lascruces #NewMexico
It may not look very exciting if you're not a hot glass artist, but I'm pleased to have received many of my mandrels, presses, and other tools, with more still in transit. Also cleaning out a nasty little shack behind the house, which will soon be my studio space. I'll share a pic of that soon. With any luck, I'll be back on the torch next weekend! #handmade #MastoArt #glass #hotglass #GlassArt #GlassArtist #lampworking #torchwork #flameworking #studioglass #artyoucanwear #lascruces #newmexico
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
