Item Name:

Description:
Moretti Gray Light Pastel is a soft glass rod color from Effetre that is pulled into solid rounds for lampworking. This is a light, opaque pastel gray that is especially useful when you want a neutral tone for modern palettes, animal and sculptural bases, and clean contrast against brighter colors without the harshness of black. Rod is the standard working form at the torch because it can be heated in a controlled way, applied precisely, and reduced into stringer for fine detail work and line application.
How it is used:
- Warm the rod gradually in the outer flame to reduce thermal shock, then bring it to a working heat for winding onto a mandrel or applying to a base form.
- Use it as a base color for opaque beads, spacers, and small sculptural elements where a soft neutral is needed.
- Pull stringer for fine linework, dot patterns, and shading details such as eyes, noses, outlines, and soft transitions between colors.
- Pair it with compatible 104 COE soft glass for layering, casing, and surface decoration in standard beadmaking and lampworking processes.
