Item Name:
Encased Peacock Twist Cane
SKU:
CANE-TWIST56
Description:
This hand-pulled glass cane is constructed from 33 COE borosilicate glass with peacock-colored twisted strands encased in clear glass. The cane is produced by twisting colored glass elements and then surrounding them with a clear glass layer to protect the pattern and create optical clarity. The pieces average 7 to 9 millimeters in width and 10 to 12 inches in length. Encased cane is used in lampworking when you want to incorporate multicolored twisted patterns into beads, vessels, and sculptural work while maintaining durability and visual depth. The clear encasement protects the peacock twists from abrasion and allows light to pass through the design, creating a magnified effect that enhances the visual impact of the pattern in finished pieces.
How it is used:
Incorporate segments of this cane into your bead designs by heating and fusing the cane pieces into a molten bead gather. You can wrap the cane around a mandrel, layer it into a bead core, or use it as surface decoration by pressing heated cane pieces onto a warm bead. The twisted peacock pattern reads clearly through the clear encasement, making it ideal for creating striped or spiral effects with rich color variation. Practice controlling the heat so the cane integrates smoothly without creating stress fractures between the peacock twists and the clear layer.
