Northstar Glacier Blue rod

Description

Northstar Glacier Blue rod is a transparent blue-green glass that stands out for its exceptional depth and brightness. Its lush tone captures the light beautifully, creating elegant and natural visual effects. When worked in an oxidizing flame, it maintains full clarity and reveals fresh, vibrant hues. This stability gives artists precise control over the color, ensuring a clean and luminous finish in every creation.

In contrast, a reducing flame causes fine reddish streaks to appear on the surface. These effects can be used creatively to add texture and contrast to a piece, or avoided depending on the desired outcome. This responsiveness gives glass artists the freedom to explore different finishes and visual atmospheres.

Glacier Blue is perfect for overlays, pendants, beads, and detailed sculptural work. Its transparency creates spectacular light effects, especially when combined with opaque or dichroic colors. It can be used as a primary color or as an accent to enhance more complex designs.

This glass is stable and easy to work with, making it an excellent choice for artists of all levels. It handles heat well and adapts to a variety of shaping and blowing techniques. The color remains uniform even after several annealing cycles, ensuring consistent, professional results.

This transparent blue-green glass transforms every project into a vibrant and luminous work of art. Its rich hue, clarity, and flame reactivity make it an essential tool for glass artists who want to create elegant, dynamic, and unique pieces.
