Description:
Moretti Cherry Shake Cool Color Effetre Glass Rod is a soft glass color rod manufactured as solid, round cane in a 4-9mm diameter range. It is designed for lampworking at the torch, where the rod is heated to form a gather for winding beads, applying surface color, or pulling stringer for detail work. Cherry Shake is typically chosen when you want a cherry-toned pink red that can add warmth and sweetness to a palette, making it useful for florals, hearts, fruit themes, and blended transitions where a softer red family color is preferred over a deep primary red.
How it is used:
- Warm the rod slowly at the edge of the flame to reduce thermal shock, then bring it into a steady working heat.
- Wind molten glass onto a prepared mandrel to form beads, using Cherry Shake as a base or as a surface layer over another color.
- Pull stringer from a heated gather for fine lines, scrollwork, and controlled detail placement.
- Use small gathers for dots and raised decoration, then shape and smooth with graphite or brass tools while the glass is still workable.
