Item Name:
Kashmir Rod - Purple
SKU:
KR-PURPLE
Description:
Kashmir Rod - Purple is colored borosilicate glass rod intended for flameworking and lampworking. It is manufactured as solid rod stock that you heat in a torch and use as your color source for building gathers, pulling stringer, making accents, and adding surface decoration. Purple is commonly chosen when you want a saturated, high-contrast color for sculptural work, linework, and layered color builds, and it is especially useful for designs where you need the color to stay distinct against clear or other transparent colors.
How it is used:
- Heat the end of the rod in a neutral flame and apply it as a color overlay on clear borosilicate tubing or rod.
- Use it as the primary stock for small solid work such as beads, pendants, marbles, and sculptural components.
- Pull stringer from a small gather to create fine linework, scrollwork, and detailed color placement.
- Build a gather and use it for encasement-compatible color layering in borosilicate work, then anneal appropriately for the project.
