Description:
Moretti Blue Sky Dark Filigrana is a specialty Effetre soft glass rod constructed with a colored outer layer and a contrasting internal core that creates crisp, linear striping when the glass is pulled down, stretched, or twisted. Filigrana is used when you want dependable, repeatable lines and structured patterning without building the design from multiple separate stringers. In lampworking, it is commonly used for beads, small blown components, and decorative details where strong line definition is important, especially in designs that will be twisted, stretched, or lightly encased for depth.
How it is used:
- Work the rod like standard Effetre for beadmaking, small sculptural elements, and small blown forms.
- Pull it down into stringer to create fine striped lines for borders, surface decoration, and clean linework.
- Twist the heated rod or a pulled-down gather to create spiral striping, then use the twist as a design element in beads and small blown shapes.
- Use small gathers as pattern stock, then encase in clear to add depth while keeping the stripe structure readable.
