Description:

Double Helix Kalypso Rod is a 104 COE soft glass color rod produced by Double Helix Glass. Kalypso is described as a raspberries and cream color with a shimmering quality. The glass reduces, strikes, and maintains its shimmer under an encasing layer.

How it is used:

This rod is used in 104 COE lampworking when you want to create warm, elegant tones with a responsive shimmer effect. Heat the end of the rod in the torch flame and gather the molten glass, then apply it to a mandrel or base glass to build beads, sculptural elements, or decorative surface work. The color develops beautifully through reduction flame chemistry, creating the characteristic shimmer. You can also encase the glass with a clear or complementary color layer to enhance the dimensional quality while preserving the lustrous effect. This makes Kalypso ideal for beadmakers and artists seeking sophisticated color with reactive properties.
