Description:
Moretti Turquoise Medium Alabaster Effetre Glass Rod is a soft glass color rod made as a solid, consistently colored cane for lampworking and beadmaking. It is designed to be heated in a torch flame, gathered smoothly, and applied as a working color for building bead bases, layering opaque color, and adding bold decorative accents. The alabaster formulation gives this turquoise a more opaque, gently diffused look, making it a strong choice when you want dependable coverage, clean pastel style opacity, and a turquoise tone that stays readable on both light and dark bases.
How it is used:
- Warm the rod gradually in the outer flame to reduce thermal shock, then bring it up to an even working temperature.
- Wind molten glass onto a prepared mandrel to create a bead base, then shape and refine.
- Use for opaque wraps, dots, and stripes that keep their color presence after melting in.
- Pull stringer from a heated gather for fine linework, small dot stacks, and delicate surface details.
