Item Name:
Moretti Gray Steel Dark Transparent Effetre Glass Stringer (2mm - 3mm)
SKU:
1558088
Description:
This 104 COE soft glass stringer is made from Moretti Effetre glass and is drawn to a diameter of 2-3mm, making it ideal for fine linework and controlled surface decoration in lampworking. The stringer is constructed by heating and drawing glass to create a thin, consistent rod that can be applied to hot glass in precise lines. Dark steel grey is a transparent grey with a cool, sophisticated tone that allows light to pass through while maintaining depth and visual interest. Stringers are chosen for lampworking when artists need to apply thin, controlled lines of color for detail work, surface patterning, and decorative accents. The 2-3mm diameter makes this stringer versatile for both delicate linework and broader decorative strokes, depending on how it is applied and melted into the base glass.
How it is used:
- Apply thin lines to the surface of a bead or sculptural form by touching the heated stringer to hot glass and drawing it across the surface
- Create fine detail work and controlled color placement for designs that require precision and definition
- Layer stringers over base colors to build dimensional patterns and add visual depth through transparent effects
- Use for outlining, striping, and creating geometric patterns on beads and sculptural forms
- Combine with other compatible 104 COE stringers for complex multi-color designs and gradient effects
- Heat the stringer gently before application to ensure smooth melting and avoid cracking or separation from the base glass
