Northstar Sublime Rod

Description

The Northstar NS-066 Sublime rod stands out with its iridescent light green color. This vibrant shade immediately catches the eye. As a transparent borosilicate color, it ranks among the most striking in the palette. Furthermore, Sublime is not affected by atmospheric conditions. This means you can work with it in any flame without worrying about altering its color.

Sublime belongs to the transparent color family, yet it is saturated enough for fine glassblowing. This quality makes it a popular choice among glass artists. One of the most exciting applications of this color is its use as an overlay. It pairs beautifully with NS-081 Blue Caramel, creating a stunning contrast and adding depth to your creations. You can see this effect in the Northstar Blue Caramel promotional flyer.

In addition to its beauty, the Northstar Sublime rod is easy to work with. Its atmospheric stability allows artists to focus on their technique without worrying about the color. This opens up many creative possibilities. You can incorporate it into various projects, whether for jewelry or sculptures.

Working with heat-sensitive colors requires a different approach. Some colors may be sensitive to high temperatures. Therefore, it is essential to heat them gently. By softly heating the rod in the upper part of the flame, you can avoid damage. Moving the rod back and forth allows for even heating, which helps prevent surface scarring.
