Northstar Canary Rod

Description

The Northstar NS-063 Canary rod features an intense and opaque lemon yellow. This luminous glass catches the eye. It is particularly suitable for stringer applications and blown glass. Artists work with Canary easily, but they must pay attention to its sensitivity to heat.

It is crucial to work slowly in a cool oxidizing flame. This helps avoid boiling the glass. Artists should avoid overly reducing flames to preserve the vibrant color. Although Canary is not very sensitive to flame chemistry, it requires careful handling.

To protect this color, artists can encase it with clear glass, although this is not necessary. When the artist heats the Canary correctly, the glass will not boil or mark. This glass is easy to work on the surface.

To achieve an interesting color effect, try layering NS-009 Yellow over NS-063 Canary. This combination creates a striking contrast. By using Canary, artists explore captivating and luminous designs.

Heat-sensitive colors, like Canary, demand special attention. Start by gently heating the rod. Pass it slowly through the flame to avoid overheating. This technique is essential for preserving the integrity of the glass.

The Northstar NS-063 Canary rod is an ideal choice for glass artists. Its vibrant hue and ease of manipulation make it a valuable tool for creating unique and vibrant pieces.
