Item Name:
Moretti Effetre Rod - Transparent Medium Blue - 4mm - 6mm
SKU:
1556054
Description:
This is a transparent medium blue Effetre glass rod made for soft-glass lampworking. It is produced as a straight rod in the 4–6mm diameter range, giving you a comfortable feed rate for steady heating, clean gathers, and consistent application in the flame.
Blue Medium is a versatile transparent that sits in the “workhorse” range for blues: strong enough to read clearly, but not so dark that it loses light transmission. It is a reliable choice for beads, small sculptural work, and layered color where you want depth without overpowering adjacent transparents.
How it is used:
- Preheat the rod gradually in the far flame, then bring it up to working temperature.
- Build a gather and wind onto a mandrel for bead bases or spacer beads.
- Pull stringer for fine lines, scrollwork, and controlled detail.
- Use for dots and overlays to add transparent depth over compatible soft-glass colors.
- Layer with other transparents to create smooth blends and dimensional color.
