Item Name:

SKU:

Description:
Moretti White Special Alabaster is an Effetre soft glass rod pulled to a consistent working diameter in the 5–6mm range. This is an alabaster-style opaque white that is commonly used when you want a softer, more nuanced white than a stark bright white, especially for sculptural work, traditional beadmaking, and designs where you want gentle opacity and a slightly diffused look. It is a dependable studio color for building clean base beads, creating high-contrast details, and forming small sculptural components that need an opaque white that reads well without looking overly harsh.
How it is used:
- Heat the end of the rod in a neutral flame and build a gather for winding onto a mandrel for beads.
- Use as a base bead color, then add surface decoration such as dots, stringer lines, encasement, or reactive accents.
- Pull stringers from the rod for fine linework, scrollwork, and crisp white detailing.
- Use in soft-glass sculpting for opaque white elements such as facial features, highlights, petals, and small structural parts.
