Description:
Moretti Pink Silver by Machine Pastel Effetre glass rod is a soft glass color rod made as a solid, round rod with a consistent 5–6 mm diameter for predictable heating and smooth application in the flame. This color is produced as a pink glass formulated with silver in the glass, which can create added depth and visual complexity compared to standard opaque pastel pinks. It is used in lampworking when you want a pink base that can develop richer character through heatwork, layering, and surface decoration.
How it is used:
- Warm the rod gradually in the outer flame to reduce thermal shock.
- Heat to a working glow and apply to a mandrel for winding beads, or use it as a base color for small sculptural work.
- Control the final look with heatwork by working cooler for cleaner pastel color or hotter for more movement and variation.
- Pull stringers from a heated gather for fine lines, dots, and scrollwork, or use as an accent layer over compatible soft glass.
