Kashmir Rod - Dark Green
SKU:
KR-DARKGREEN
Description:
Kashmir Rod - Dark Green is a solid colored glass rod used in flameworking and lampworking when you need a deep green tone for strong accents, natural themes, and high-contrast design work. It is manufactured as a consistent rod form that can be introduced into the torch flame, melted, and applied directly to compatible base glass. Dark green is commonly chosen for botanical elements, traditional color palettes, and grounding darker outlines around brighter colors. Rod form gives you controlled color delivery for wraps, dots, and pulled stringers, making it useful for both bold color placement and fine detail work.
How it is used:
- Preheat the rod tip in the outer flame to reduce thermal shock before moving into the hotter working flame
- Melt the rod tip and apply it directly to the work for dots, bands, surface wraps, and color fills
- Pull stringers from the rod for fine linework, borders, and detailed patterning
- Use as a dark outlining color to sharpen edges and increase contrast around brighter colors
- Layer over or under other colors to build depth and create shaded transitions
- Use for sculptural details such as leaves, stems, and other nature-inspired elements
