Glass Alchemy Dragon Tears rod

Description

The Glass Alchemy Dragon Tears rod is a new transparent blue glass with silver highlights. This glass is playful while remaining transparent once worked. It shifts between blue and silver tones, creating dynamic and beautiful color variations as you use it. This glass is perfect for artists looking to add a touch of mystery and depth to their glass creations.

The playful nature of Dragon Tears allows for unique effects. Depending on the working conditions, the silver elements will appear, adding extra shimmer to your pieces. When worked in a neutral flame, the glass remains transparent, showcasing its subtle shades of blue and silver. However, using a slightly reducing flame will bring out the silver effects, making them more pronounced.

To achieve the best results with the Glass Alchemy Dragon Tears rod, it’s important to understand how flame atmosphere impacts the color. A neutral flame is ideal for preserving the transparency and clarity of the base color. A slightly reducing flame will highlight the silver shimmer, giving your pieces a deeper and more dramatic look. It’s important to note that longer kiln times will darken the silver effects, but the base color will remain unchanged. This allows for consistent and predictable results in your creations.

Dragon Tears offers the perfect balance of playfulness and elegance. Its transparency allows for layering and intricate designs, while its silver highlights add a unique shine. This glass is still being refined, and its final formulation and QC parameters have yet to be set.
