Northstar Purple Urple Rod

Description

The Northstar Purple Urple NS-101 rod offers a dark, rich, and deep purple glass. This opaque purple uses chrome-based technology but does not have any cracking issues. It is particularly suited for blown work as well as fine and precise stringer applications. Its unique consistency allows for sharp details and interesting textures.

NS-101 Purple Urple is heat-sensitive. It must be heated slowly to avoid boiling and losing its color. Once it turns red-hot, it can withstand heat and be manipulated without risk of cracking. However, this glass is also sensitive to reduction. If the flame is too reducing, gray and brown streaks may appear on the glass surface. A sufficiently oxidizing flame helps avoid this issue and results in more vibrant colors.

When working with this glass, it is essential to carefully adjust the flame. The heat must be applied gradually to avoid defects. This glass is perfect for artists seeking an intense and lasting color in their creations. NS-101 Purple Urple offers a unique palette, ideal for detailed work and projects that require rich, deep shades.

To achieve interesting and customized effects, combine the Northstar Purple Urple rod with other compatible glasses. This combination can produce surprising results, especially with layered effects or using reduction techniques.

This rod stands out for its resistance to cracking, even in the most complex applications. Take advantage of its versatility and depth of color to enhance your glass creations and add a unique touch to each piece.
