Description:

Asian 16mm Medium 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 introduce more material into the flame quickly, which is ideal for larger builds and steady production work. The color is described as a classic, vibrant cobalt with rich, saturated tone that holds its medium cobalt blue hue when properly annealed, giving you a strong blue that stays bold without reading overly dark.

How it is used:

This rod is used by warming the end in the flame, gathering molten glass, and shaping it into the form you need. The 16mm diameter is especially useful when you are building sizable beads, sculptural elements, or medium to large pieces because it reduces the number of rod changes and keeps your heat base consistent while you add volume. It is also a practical starting stock for pulling down smaller rod and stringer, laying down color overlays, and building components where you want a saturated cobalt presence that still reads as a medium blue.
