Northstar Nile rod

The Nile rod is a unique organic color, inspired by NS-013 Amber/Purple. It offers rich earthy tones and burnt amber hues, perfect for creating pieces with a natural and elegant style. Its warm shade captures light and adds depth to every creation, making your work vibrant and sophisticated.

Work Nile in a hot, oxidizing flame for the best results. You can burn off haze or perform a flame or kiln strike to achieve a finish reminiscent of glazed pottery. This versatility allows artists to explore different textures and visual effects, giving pieces a rich and professional-looking finish.

NS-089 Nile excels in blown and sculptural applications. It is not saturated enough for thin stringers but shines as an overlay color. When used in coiling, the coil lines are virtually invisible, producing a perfectly uniform surface. Overlays on opaque colors create subtle effects and elegant transitions.

The color is easy to work with and stable, even after multiple manipulations. Artists can shape, stretch, and layer Nile to achieve detailed, complex, and consistent pieces. Its workability allows precise control over hue and texture while experimenting with creative and unique effects.

NS-089 Nile transforms every project into a refined and captivating creation. Its rich earthy tones, ease of use, and ability to produce uniform, elegant finishes make it an essential tool for glass artists seeking to combine creativity, precision, and professional results. Each piece becomes a unique, warm work ready to attract attention and captivate viewers.
