Glass Alchemy Shamrock rod

Description

Shamrock by Glass Alchemy embodies a vivid, bright opaque green.
Its intense saturation brings life to every creation, whether solid or blown. Artists seeking a deep and stable green will find a trusted ally in Shamrock.

This color melts easily. It works smoothly in a neutral flame. It doesn’t sublimate and separates cleanly without leaving visible lines. Even in complex applications, the Glass Alchemy Shamrock rod stays stable. You can stretch it into a very thin stringer or blow it out without losing density. This reliability makes Shamrock a perfect choice for demanding projects.

Shamrock responds well to encasement under a thick layer of clear glass. For optimal results, heat your kiln to 524 °C (975 °F) for garage, and anneal at 566 °C (1050 °F). These temperatures ensure excellent stability throughout the process.

Pair Shamrock with other Crayon Series colors for strong contrast. GA Sno White creates sharp, clean lines. GA Rasta Gold adds warmth and glow. Shamrock also works beautifully with transparent colors to create depth and layered effects.

For a natural finish, add a thin layer of GA Silver Strike-5 frit and encase with clear. This technique gives the Glass Alchemy Shamrock rod an earthy texture, ideal for organic, expressive pieces.

Shamrock stands out for its richness, ease of use, and versatility. It opens up countless possibilities for glass artists. Every piece gains strength, contrast, and character. Add Shamrock to your palette and explore the full range of opaque green potential.
