Ideal when used in thick layers and under warm lighting (2700K), it contains a small amount of copper and performs best in an oxidizing flame.
Description
The Northstar Hydra rod is a remarkable artistic glass, renowned for its transparent icy green hue and multichromatic properties. Depending on the lighting and the color temperature of the light source, this glass reveals a subtle palette ranging from light green to pale blue, occasionally with very faint purplish highlights. This ability to shift color makes it especially appealing for artistic creations that require dynamic visual variations.
To fully reveal its chromatic potential, it is recommended to use a 2700-kelvin compact fluorescent bulb (CFL), which enhances warm and rich tones. Additionally, applying the glass in thick layers accentuates its depth effects and reflective qualities.
Containing a low amount of copper, the Northstar Hydra rod performs best in an oxidizing flame, producing a more stable and luminous color. Ideal for glassblowers, bead makers, or flameworking artists, this material offers a sophisticated and vibrant finish, perfect for decorative or functional pieces that capture light in a unique way.
NS-147 Hydra combines technical precision with aesthetic appeal, making it an elegant choice for any glass project seeking subtlety and brilliance.
