Description:
Origin Sunshine Bars are solid bars of colored glass formulated for lampworking color application. Bar stock is produced by melting a batch of colored glass, casting it into bar form, and annealing it so it can be cut down and worked at the torch. Bars are chosen when you want to pull your own stringer, create color overlays, make small gathers for accents, or chunk the material into manageable pieces for consistent color use. This format is especially handy for artists who prefer to control stringer diameter, color placement, and the amount of material introduced to the flame.
How it is used:
- Score and break off a workable piece, then preheat it gradually to reduce thermal shock.
- Use the bar like rod stock to apply color directly to a bead or small sculptural form.
- Heat a corner or edge and pull custom stringers for fine linework, detail, and surface decoration.
- Melt small amounts into a gather for wraps, dots, and spot color, then shape and smooth in with a neutral flame.
- Combine with clear or other colors for layered effects, controlled fades, and encased color depth.
