Description:
Origin Ocean Blue-Green Bars are colored glass bars made for torchworking when you want a saturated blue-green tone available in a larger mass than stringer. Bar stock is useful at the bench because it gives you enough material to pull your own stringers as needed, apply thicker color without layering multiple thin pieces, and gather small amounts of color for dots, bands, and overlays. A blue-green like this is a go-to for water and sea palettes, cool gradients, and high-contrast striping when paired with whites, dark blues, and black, making it a versatile choice for both sculptural and functional lampworked work.
How it is used:
- Warm the end of the bar slowly in a neutral flame to reduce the chance of thermal shock.
- Pull stringers from the bar for fine linework, striping, and surface drawing.
- Use the bar to apply small gathers of color for dots, bands, and quick overlays.
- Marver and shape the applied color, then continue building the piece as needed.
- Garage and anneal using a schedule appropriate for the glass type you’re working in.
