Description:
Origin Elephant Grey Bars are solid bars of color glass formulated for flameworking and other heat-based glassworking where you want consistent, repeatable color in a convenient chunk form. Instead of being pulled into rod or crushed into frit, this color is cast and cut into bar-shaped pieces that can be warmed and fed into the flame as needed.
Color bars are commonly used when you want to pull your own rod, stringer, or tubing, make custom color mixes, or add controlled amounts of color to larger gathers without committing to a full rod bundle. They are also useful for studios that like to break down material into smaller working pieces, or for artists who prefer to preheat and punty up a bar for steady feeding while building up wraps, overlays, and sculptural components.
How it is used:
- Preheat the bar in the kiln or in the far flame to reduce thermal shock before bringing it into working heat
- Use the bar as feedstock to pull custom stringers for linework, veining, and fine detail
- Pull rod from the bar for general forming, wraps, and overlays
- Add small amounts of the bar to a clear gather to tint or create custom blends
- Break the bar into smaller sections for easier handling and more controlled heating
