Description:
Asian 7-10mm Opaque Black Rod is a colored borosilicate glass rod produced in Asia and pulled to a working diameter range of 7mm to 10mm. This rod delivers solid, deep black coverage with excellent opacity, providing the lampworker with a consistent, saturated color source for bold, dramatic flameworking results. In rod form, it is designed to be introduced directly into the flame for gathering, layering, and building form. The opaque black character remains rich and true when properly annealed, making it ideal for creating striking contrast, sleek modern designs, or clean bases for surface decoration.
How it is used:
This rod is used as a primary color source for flameworking, particularly when solid coverage and depth are desired. It is commonly gathered and applied as a base layer over clear, used for solid sculptural work, or pulled down into stringer for fine line detail and definition. The 7mm to 10mm diameter range makes it well suited for medium to larger beads, sculptural elements, and components where you want substantial color presence without constantly switching rods. It is especially effective for creating dramatic contrast against lighter colors, establishing clean dark foundations, and adding sophisticated depth to any composition.
