Description:
Origin Black Bars are solid color glass bars made for lampworking. Bar stock is typically used when you want a larger mass of color than a standard rod, making it useful for pulling your own rod and stringer, gathering for small solid work, or cutting manageable sections for controlled color application. A dense black is one of the most-used studio colors because it provides strong contrast for linework, backing, and graphic designs, and it is also commonly used as a base layer under transparent colors to increase depth and visual separation.
How it is used:
- Heat the end of the bar evenly and pull it down into custom rods for your preferred working diameter.
- Pull stringers from the bar for crisp outlines, fine detail, and high-contrast striping.
- Use small gathers from the bar for sculptural builds, handles, feet, and other solid black components.
- Back transparent colors with black to deepen the final look and sharpen edges in layered designs.
