Description:
Moretti Hawaiian Clay Cool Color Effetre Glass Rod is a soft glass color rod manufactured as solid, round cane in a 6-7mm diameter range. It is designed for lampworking at the torch, where the rod is heated to form a gather that can be wound onto a mandrel, applied as surface decoration, or pulled into stringer for detail. Hawaiian Clay is typically chosen when you want an earthy, clay-like tone for natural palettes, skin tones, animal markings, and warm neutral accents that help balance brighter colors in beadmaking and small soft-glass sculpture.
How it is used:
- Preheat the rod gradually at the edge of the flame to reduce thermal shock, then bring it to a working temperature.
- Wind the molten glass onto a prepared mandrel to build beads, using Hawaiian Clay as a base color or as a layer over another color.
- Pull stringer from a heated gather for fine lines, outlines, and subtle striping.
- Use small gathers for dot work and raised decoration, then shape and smooth with graphite or brass tools while the glass remains workable.
