Description:
Asian 16mm Light Cobalt Blue Rod is a solid colored glass rod pulled to a substantial 16mm diameter for flameworking and lampworking. It is made as a thick, full-size rod so you can feed a lot of material into the flame quickly, which is especially useful for larger builds and steady production work. The color is described as a softer, sky-inspired cobalt blue that stays a light cobalt blue when properly annealed, giving you an approachable blue tone that reads cleanly in both sculptural and bead work.
How it is used:
This rod is used by introducing the end into the flame and heating gradually, then gathering and shaping the molten glass into the form you need. The 16mm diameter is well-suited for making sizable beads, sculptural elements, and medium to large pieces because it reduces the number of small rod changes and helps you build volume efficiently. It can also be used for pulling down smaller rod and stringer, building overlays, and creating color-backed components where you want a lighter cobalt look rather than a deep, inky blue.
