Description:

This is a solid, colored soft glass rod made for flame working and beadmaking. It is pulled into rod form at the factory, then cut to workable lengths for studio use. The “Mocha” color is a warm brown tone that’s commonly used as a base color, for earthy palettes, and for detail work where you want a softer brown instead of a harsh black line. Soft glass rods like this are typically used when you are working in compatible soft-glass systems and want reliable color for winding beads, pulling stringer, or adding surface decoration.

How it is used:

• Preheat the tip of the rod in the outer flame to reduce thermal shock, then bring it up to a working glow.
• Wind molten glass onto a mandrel to build bead shape, or apply it onto a compatible soft-glass base as a layer or casing color.
• Pull stringer from the rod for fine linework, scrollwork, and small decorative details.
• Use small gathers for dots and spot decoration, then melt in smooth or leave raised depending on the design.

Dimensions:

• Rod diameter: 4mm – 7mm
