Glass Alchemy Blue Dream rod

Description

The Glass Alchemy Blue Dream rod is a remarkable addition to Glass Alchemy’s transparent palette, offering a vibrant and bold blue that immediately catches the eye. This glass is perfect for glassblowers looking to create striking sculpted pieces where the color truly stands out. Its rich and luminous hue adds a unique depth to every creation.

This glass works best in thick layers, as the color intensifies when the thickness reaches around 8 mm or more. To achieve a lighter, more translucent blue, simply pull it into thin stringers or use it in layers of 4 mm or less. This flexibility allows artists to explore different shades of blue using a single material.

Thanks to its high refractive index, the Glass Alchemy Blue Dream rod offers outstanding optical clarity, with minimal air bubbles, ensuring a clean and professional finish. It is particularly well-suited for solid sections and thicker tubing, producing pieces that are both robust and visually stunning.

Blue Dream handles various flame atmospheres well, making it a reliable and versatile choice for different glassworking styles and techniques. However, it is recommended to avoid an overly strong propane flame for prolonged periods in order to preserve the material’s quality.

Artists appreciate Blue Dream for its compatibility with other transparent colors from the Glass Alchemy line, such as Sno White, Haterade, and Raindrop, allowing for harmonious and dynamic color combinations. By choosing Blue Dream, you’re working with a high-quality glass that is easy to handle and enhances every creation with its intense color and exceptional clarity.
