Item Name:
Moretti Effetre Rod - Transparent Intense Blue - 5mm - 6mm
SKU:
1556057
Description:
This is a transparent, intense blue Effetre glass rod made for soft-glass lampworking. It’s manufactured as a straight rod in the 5–6mm diameter range, sized to feed comfortably into the flame for steady heat control and consistent gathers.
“Blue Intense” is a strong, saturated transparent that’s commonly chosen when you want clean, vivid blue color without the flat look you can get from some opaques. It’s a solid choice for beads, small sculpture, and decorative line work where you want the color to stay bright and readable over both light and dark bases.
How it is used:
- Preheat the rod in the far flame to reduce thermal shock, then bring it up to working temperature.
- Use it as a base color by building a gather and winding or shaping as needed.
- Pull stringer from the rod for fine linework, scrollwork, and detail.
- Layer over compatible soft-glass colors for transparent depth and color blending.
- Use small controlled gathers for dots, overlays, and encasement-style accents.
