Item Name:

Description:
Moretti Red Filigrana is a specialty Effetre soft glass rod made with a colored outer layer and a contrasting internal core that creates a clean, linear stripe effect when the rod is pulled down, twisted, or stretched. Filigrana is used when you want consistent lines and structured patterning without having to build the design from multiple separate stringers. In lampworking, it is commonly chosen for beads, small blown work, and decorative components where you want crisp color definition and repeatable striping that stays readable after shaping and encasing.
How it is used:
- Heat the rod evenly and work it like standard Effetre rod for beadmaking and small sculptural elements.
- Pull it down into stringer to create fine, consistent striped lines for surface decoration and linework.
- Twist while hot to create barber-pole spirals, then use the twisted pull as a design element in beads and small blown forms.
- Use small gathers of filigrana as pattern stock, then encase in clear for depth while keeping the stripe structure intact.
