Glass Alchemy Amazon Night rod

Description

The Glass Alchemy Amazon Night rod is a deep, slightly translucent green enriched with silver and metals that reveal their full magic when heated. From the very first tests, Amazon Night quickly became a studio essential.

This glass delivers striking effects: silver strikes, iridescence, and colorful gradients. Use a neutral flame during shaping, then slightly increase the propane at the end to bring out unique metallic highlights. The ideal temperature for striking, either in the flame or the kiln, is 579°C (1075°F).

When encased in clear glass, Amazon Night transforms: by varying the intensity and focus of the reheating, you’ll get streaks, wisps, and bursts ranging from blue to green, with occasional violet or golden accents. These effects bring dynamic, luminous, and richly textured pieces to life.

Even without encasement, Amazon Night remains just as spectacular. To avoid phase separation or scum, work in a neutral flame. At the end, a simple pass through a reducing flame creates a stunning, chrome-like iridescence—almost magical.

Amazon Night is also an excellent color for testing your neutral flame.

Add Amazon Night to your palette to explore a wide range of visual effects. This glass offers a perfect balance of technical control and artistic surprise. It’s a must-have for any modern glass studio.
