Nimbus is inspired by the Atlantis color and closely resembles Zen, but without the risk of reduction. If you love Zen for its soothing tone but worry about it shifting to red during work, Nimbus is the perfect alternative. It offers a beautiful aquamarine hue, softer and more pastel. The color varies depending on the thickness of the application: the thinner it is, the lighter and more luminous it appears; the thicker it is, the more it reveals a creamy depth.
The Nimbus rod melts quickly and easily. Its texture is smooth and consistent. You can blow it, twist it, or shape it without difficulty. It performs best with a neutral flame.
Blow work is ideal with Nimbus. It creates a smooth, almost opalescent surface. Coil bubbles show subtle lines that add detail and depth. This color responds well to various techniques and styles.
Nimbus doesn’t cloud or lose its hue, even after prolonged working times. It maintains its brilliance and softness. Its stability makes it suitable for all glassblowers, from beginners to professionals.
Use Nimbus alone or layered. Pair it with opaques or transparents to create soft contrasts and subtle light effects.
