Description:
Moretti Green Grass Filigrana is a specialty Effetre soft glass rod constructed with a colored outer layer and a contrasting internal core that produces crisp, linear striping when the glass is pulled down, stretched, or twisted. Filigrana is used when you want consistent, repeatable lines and structured patterning without assembling multiple stringers by hand. In lampworking, it is commonly used for beads, small blown components, and decorative details where clean striping and strong color definition are important, especially for designs that will be twisted, stretched, or lightly encased for added depth.
How it is used:
- Work the rod like standard Effetre for beadmaking, small sculptural elements, and small blown forms.
- Pull it down into stringer to create fine striped lines for borders, surface decoration, and controlled linework.
- Twist the heated rod or a pulled-down gather to create spiral striping, then apply the twist as a design accent.
- Use small gathers as pattern stock, then encase in clear to add depth while keeping the stripe structure readable.
