Glass Alchemy Twilight rod

Description

The Glass Alchemy Twilight rod offers a deep opaque blue, ideal for adding intensity and contrast to your glass creations. Designed as part of a series of six blues and greens, this color pairs perfectly with the vibrant shades of the Crayon collection, such as Chocolate, Orange, Chartreuse, Olive Green, and Red Crayon. Twilight stands out for its unique depth and stability, making it a versatile choice for glass artists.

Twilight is distinguished by its density, deep hue, and versatility. Darker than Peacock, this blue has a strong visual identity while remaining easy to work with. You can use it for both blown and solid work, for complex sculptures or surface applications. It reveals its full potential in murrine, where its dense color retains its impact even after stretching.

Its creamy texture ensures smooth shaping, while its thermal stability allows for precise work. Twilight resists sublimation and boiling, enabling intense localized heating for fine details or clean joins without loss of quality.

Work this rod in a neutral flame, anneal at 975 °F (524 °C), and reheat at 1050 °F (566 °C) for perfect durability. If not encased, subtle dark tones may appear with targeted heating, adding richness to your pieces.

Twilight pairs perfectly with other opaque shades and highlights vibrant colors with elegance. It is a reliable choice for any glass artist seeking a rich, stable, and expressive blue tone.
