Item Name:
Double Helix Theia
SKU:
DHGTHEIA
Description:
Double Helix Theia is a transparent gold-based color formulated to develop rich blues and violets when worked correctly. It is designed for lampworking artists who want a clean, luminous transparent that can shift toward cool tones with proper flame control and heat history.
In the flame, this color rewards a gentle hand. Excessive heat can wash out or mute the developed tones, so it is best treated with controlled heating, careful shaping, and a balanced working rhythm to preserve the color potential.
How it is used:
Use Double Helix Theia for blown work, encasement, and transparent overlays where you want a bright, jewel-like base that can develop blue-violet character. Work it in a neutral-to-slightly-oxidizing flame, bring it up to temperature evenly, and avoid prolonged overheating. After shaping, allow the piece to cool slightly before reheating as needed to maintain clarity and encourage stable color development.
