Glass Alchemy Really Teally rod

Description

The Glass Alchemy rod Really Teally is a vibrant, easy-to-work opaque blue, positioned between Agua Azul and Peacock. Designed to complete the blue-green palette, it offers a harmonious transition and enhances fades.

Characteristics and workability

Really Teally is a “what you see is what you get” color, meaning it stays true to its appearance throughout the working process. It is slightly stiff at the start of the melt but softens quickly, making it easy to shape. It works perfectly for stringers and thin blown glass applications, maintaining its structure. When stretched enough, it becomes slightly translucent, allowing light to pass through, adding an interesting visual effect.

This shade works well with all flame settings and withstands high heat without boiling or sublimating. Whether used alone or encased in clear glass, it maintains its depth and consistency. For sculptural applications, Really Teally blends seamlessly with itself, ensuring a uniform finish.

Usage tips

For best results, work Really Teally with a neutral flame. Maintain it at 975°F (525°C) and anneal it at 1050°F (565°C). To optimize its use while preserving its intensity, layer it between clear glass.

Ideal pairings

The Glass Alchemy rod Really Teally pairs perfectly with other shades of blue and green. This color offers great versatility and guarantees a reliable, uniform finish for blown, solid, or sculptural pieces.

It’s a must-have for any glass artist looking to enhance their palette with a durable, dynamic, and easy-to-work blue-green hue.
