Description:
Moretti Yellow Uranium Transparent is a soft glass color rod from Effetre, pulled to a practical working diameter for beadmaking and small flameworked components. This is a transparent yellow formulated with uranium, giving it the bright, clean yellow tone many artists look for in transparent work and making it especially popular for pieces where you want strong color while still maintaining depth and light transmission. In lampworking, it’s used for beads, small sculptural details, overlays, and layered color work where a transparent yellow can add warmth, highlight pattern, and create a luminous “lit from within” look when combined with other compatible soft-glass colors.
How it is used:
- Pre-warm the rod gradually and establish a small gather to reduce thermal shock.
- Use as a base color for beads, spacers, and small sculptural elements, or apply as a transparent overlay over compatible soft-glass colors.
- For clean transparency, work in a neutral flame and avoid prolonged overheating that can reduce clarity.
- Use layering and encasement techniques to build depth, especially when pairing with other transparent colors for dimensional effects.
