Description:
TAG Purple Sable Rod is a color glass rod formulated for borosilicate lampworking. It is manufactured as solid rod stock, making it ideal for direct torch application and controlled color work. This rod is chosen when you want a rich purple tone that reads well in both bright and subtle applications, and it is commonly used for accents, layered effects, and decorative elements where depth and sophistication matter.
How it is used:
- Warm the rod gradually in the far flame to prevent thermal shock, then bring it to working temperature.
- Pull fine stringers for detailed linework and delicate surface drawing.
- Apply as dots, wraps, and overlays onto clear or colored bases, then shape and blend as desired.
- Gather small amounts for sculptural details, using graphite or metal tools to shape while maintaining even heat.
- Flame cut and lightly fire polish the end to seal and prepare for storage or the next session.
