Description:
Moretti Lapis Alabaster Effetre Glass Rod is a soft glass color rod made for lampworking and beadmaking. It is manufactured as a solid, consistently colored rod that is designed to be heated in a torch flame and used as a working color for forming beads, small sculptural components, and decorative surface applications. The alabaster formulation gives this lapis blue a more opaque, gently diffused appearance, which is useful when you want strong color coverage for base beads, smooth overlays, and bold accents that read clearly without the sharper edge you often see in transparent blues.
How it is used:
- Warm the rod gradually in the outer flame to reduce thermal shock, then bring it up to a smooth working temperature.
- Wind molten glass onto a prepared mandrel to build a bead base, then shape and refine as needed.
- Apply as an accent color for dots, stripes, wraps, and simple overlays, then melt in for clean transitions.
- Pull stringer from a heated gather for fine linework and small detail accents.
