Trautman Art Glass Red Blizzard rod

Description

The Trautman Art Glass Red Blizzard rod brings a unique touch to your creations with its deep red base shot through with white flakes. This glass, ranging from transparent to semi-opaque, beautifully mimics the look of natural stone or old-fashioned speckled enamelware. When cold, the rods have a rough texture, but they quickly smooth out in the flame, offering excellent handling from the very first use.

When worked in a neutral or oxidizing atmosphere, the Trautman Art Glass Red Blizzard rod maintains the crispness of its white flecks without causing them to boil. This results in a striking visual contrast between the rich red background and the scattered “snow-like” accents. The effect is natural, organic, and expressive—perfect for projects that focus on texture and visual depth.

Despite its inclusions, this glass remains flame-tolerant and easy to use, even for less experienced glass artists. It’s well suited for beadmaking, sculpture, or blown work, and it pairs beautifully with both vibrant and neutral colors.

Red Blizzard blends the elegance of a warm red tone with the originality of a speckled, marbled texture, delivering a handcrafted and timeless finish. It’s an ideal rod for artists looking to add a vintage, material-rich effect to their glasswork.
