Northstar Ursa rod

The Northstar Ursa rod is a rich, deep opaque brown, specially designed to meet the needs of artists seeking an alternative to traditional cadmium-based browns. Its intense, uniform color allows the creation of elegant, earthy pieces, ideal for sculpture, blown work, and layering. Each rod offers optimal saturation, ensuring that colors remain vibrant and consistent even after multiple firings.

Ursa has a viscosity perfectly suited for torch work, making glass manipulation and shaping easy and precise. Artists can work on complex forms, fine details, or multiple layers without losing control over the color. This workability enables the creation of sophisticated, consistent, and professional-quality pieces.

As with many opaque colors, it is essential to heat Ursa slowly and evenly to prevent glass from boiling. Using a gradual approach keeps the surface smooth and ensures uniform color transitions, guaranteeing a flawless finish on every piece. This quality makes Ursa a forgiving and reliable color for artists of all skill levels.

NS-140 Ursa is ideal for projects requiring natural, earthy tones, adding depth and warmth to every creation. Glass artists can use it alone or layered over other opaque or transparent colors to produce sophisticated visual effects. Its uniform hue and dense color make it an essential choice for exploring new techniques and enriching the color spectrum of any artwork.

This rod transforms every project into an elegant and refined creation, giving artists control, flexibility, and consistently professional results. Ursa is the perfect solution for those seeking a rich, versatile, and reliable opaque brown for all their glass art projects.
