Description:

This is a dark gray pastel Effetre Moretti glass rod made for soft-glass lampworking. It is manufactured as a straight, round rod with consistent diameter so it heats evenly and pulls clean stringer when you need controlled linework. Dark gray pastel is a staple neutral for sculptural work, animal markings, shading, and for toning down brighter colors without going fully opaque black. It is commonly used for beads, small sculptures, and decorative components where you want a smooth, even pastel gray that reads clearly in both thin and thicker applications.

How it is used:

• Preheat the rod in the far flame to avoid shocking
• Work it in a neutral flame for clean, predictable color
• Use it as a base color for beads and small forms
• Pull stringer for fine outlines, scrollwork, and detail lines
• Layer over or under other soft-glass colors to create shading and depth

Dimensions:

• Rod diameter: 5mm – 6mm
