Description:
Moretti Orange Striking Transparent is a soft glass color rod from Effetre, pulled in a versatile working diameter for beadmaking and small flameworked components. As a striking color, it develops its final orange tone through controlled heatwork rather than appearing fully developed the moment it melts. This makes it a strong choice when you want a transparent orange with depth and variation, from lighter amber-orange to richer, more saturated orange depending on how you cycle it in and out of the flame. It’s commonly used for beads, sculptural accents, transparent overlays, and layered color work where you want light to pass through the glass and give the finished piece a glowing, dimensional look.
How it is used:
- Pre-warm the rod and build a small gather to reduce thermal shock.
- Use as a base color for beads or small sculptural elements, or apply as a transparent overlay over compatible soft-glass colors.
- Strike the color by heat-cycling: bring the glass to working temperature, let it cool slightly out of the flame, then reheat gently to develop the orange.
- Control the final shade by adjusting how hot and how long you work it, keeping the heat moderate to preserve clarity and color development.
