Description:

This is a medium lapis blue pastel Effetre Moretti glass rod made for soft-glass lampworking. It is manufactured as a straight, round rod with consistent diameter so it heats evenly, winds smoothly onto mandrels, and pulls into uniform stringer for controlled detail work. Lapis medium pastel is a versatile studio blue that is strong enough for bold base beads and sculptural forms, while still behaving like a pastel for smooth, even coverage and clean layering. It is a reliable choice when you want a classic medium blue for beads, small sculpture, and decorative components that need consistent color in both thin and thicker applications.

How it is used:

• Preheat the rod in the far flame to reduce thermal shock
• Work it in a neutral flame for the cleanest, most consistent color
• Use it as a base color for beads and small forms
• Pull stringer for outlines, scrollwork, and fine detail lines
• Layer with other soft-glass colors to build shading, borders, and graphic contrast

Dimensions:

• Rod diameter: 5mm – 6mm
