The Glass Alchemy Sangria rod is an opaque cadmium red borosilicate glass with deep burgundy undertones. It offers a rich, intense, and warm colour. It sits deeper than Red Crayon and brings a strong, elegant presence to glass creations.

This glass is ideal for artists seeking dark and sophisticated tones. It works beautifully for smooth fades and soft colour transitions. It naturally connects reds to deeper shades such as Chocolate Crayon without harsh contrast.

Sangria is part of the Glass Alchemy Crayon collection. It maintains excellent colour density even in fine work. It keeps strong saturation in both blown and sculptural applications. It remains stable and reliable during torch work.

This glass adapts to many techniques. It performs well in blowing, sculpting, and solid work. It responds best in the neutral zone of the flame. It allows precise colour control.

It requires gradual heating. The Glass Alchemy Sangria rod performs best in a soft and balanced flame. It does not handle prolonged high propane or oxygen exposure well. Overheating may affect stability during long working sessions.

When used thin, under 1 mm, it becomes more translucent. It shifts into a slightly milky deep burgundy red. This effect can enhance artistic designs.

Sangria suits jewellery, beads, sculptures, and decorative objects. It adds depth, elegance, and visual warmth. It creates smooth blends and natural gradient effects.

Working tip: Preheat gently in the outer flame and work in a stable neutral zone to preserve colour quality.
