Northstar Midnight rod

The Northstar Midnight rod is a deep, rich, and fully opaque blue that transforms your creations into truly captivating pieces. Its intense, uniform color immediately draws the eye and provides exceptional depth to your beads, sculptures, or fine stringer work. Midnight is particularly suited for stringers and thin rods and can be stretched over long lengths without losing its intensity, offering optimal flexibility for delicate and detailed creations.

This blue is heat- and flame-sensitive, requiring careful handling. For the best results, heat the glass slowly and evenly, and once it becomes glowing, maintain the heat gently. Working too quickly or at too high a temperature can cause boiling, which will compromise the beauty of the color.

To preserve the richness of the blue, use an oxidizing flame. An insufficiently oxidizing flame may create gray-brown streaks, reducing the intensity and purity of Midnight. Following this precaution ensures a consistent and professional result, even on complex or large pieces.

NS-057 Midnight is suitable for many techniques: stringers, sculptures, blown work, and fine detailing. Its depth and opacity allow you to create striking contrasts when combined with other colors, or mysterious and elegant effects when used alone. Every piece made with Midnight becomes unique, revealing an intense, rich, and sophisticated blue.

With NS-057 Midnight, your creations gain elegance, depth, and visual power, and each project becomes an opportunity to explore precise control of color and flame with creativity and skill.
