Northstar Light Blue Amber Purple rod

Description

The Northstar Light Blue Amber/Purple rod is the least saturated of the five Amber/Purple colors produced by Northstar. It delivers a light purplish-blue strike that reacts beautifully to flame variations and atmospheric conditions. In oxidation, it develops rich purple tones, while in reduction, it produces opaque sea greens and unique visual effects. This versatility allows artists to create dynamic and captivating pieces with full control over color.

The color should be worked in a hot, neutral to slightly oxidizing flame for the best results. Reduction influences the intensity and appearance of the strike, creating subtle variations that artists can use to enhance their creations. While Light Blue Amber/Purple is not well-suited for thin blown work, it excels in sculptural projects where its depth and richness of color can truly shine.

This color layers especially well over NS-054 Star White and NS-081 Blue Caramel, allowing artists to create elegant contrasts and refined shades. These combinations enable luminous effects, subtle color transitions, and sophisticated visual details.

Light Blue Amber/Purple is easy to handle and withstands multiple annealings, ensuring consistent, professional-quality results. It allows artists to work with complex shapes, explore new techniques, and produce detailed, refined pieces.

NS-048 Light Blue Amber/Purple transforms every project into a unique work of art. Its stability, workability, and rich range of shades make it an essential tool for glass artists seeking control, creativity, and spectacular results. Each piece comes to life through overlays and luminous variations, delivering a professional and impressive finish.
