Item Name:
Moretti Effetre Rod - Transparent Pale Blue - 5mm - 6mm
SKU:
1556050
Description:
This is a transparent pale blue Effetre glass rod made for soft-glass lampworking. It is manufactured as a straight rod in the 5–6mm diameter range, which gives a steady, easy-to-control feed rate for clean heating and consistent gathers in the flame.
Pale Blue is a lighter transparent that is especially useful when you want a soft, airy blue without the visual weight of darker transparents. It works well for delicate bead palettes, layered transparent effects, and subtle shading where you want light to pass through the color rather than be absorbed by it.
How it is used:
- Preheat the rod slowly in the far flame, then bring it up to working temperature.
- Wind onto a mandrel for bead bases, spacers, and light transparent layers.
- Pull stringer for fine linework, scrolls, and controlled detail.
- Use as a transparent overlay to soften stronger colors and add depth.
- Combine with other transparents for smooth blends and gentle gradients.
