Striking Glass: How to Get Color

Image
Lampworking Tips & Techniques Any lampworker who has ever attempted to work with 'striking' glass has experienced the struggle. How do you get all those fabulous color ranges and not just boring tan? Not that tan is a bad color ... but when you spend a small fortune on premium striking glass, tan is not the desired outcome. If we go way back into the glass time machine, the whole striking glass frenzy started with a furnace glass:  Reichenbach R-108 Iris Orange - lovingly nicknamed 'Raku' by the lampworking community ...  now I'm sounding like a food blogger 😉 There have been countless forum threads, e-books, tutorials, and conversations around how to get Raku to do its magic. Every single one of them has excellent information that anyone who chooses to work with this glass will benefit by reading and watching. I am no expert. I still can't get the full color range I want out of this glass after all this time. However, if we break down the already kno...

Color Palettes: Primary Pop

Image
Soft Glass Color Inspiration What better way to re-ignite your color muse than to go back to the very basics. Why are rainbow color palettes so thoroughly pleasing to the eye? The primary colors.   There is just something about red, yellow, and blue ... and the rest of their 2nd tier friends that makes your heart sing just a little bit.

From a fashionista standpoint, what better way to complement that chic black and white outfit than to add a bold ensemble of jewels in the primary color palette?  And quite frankly, if you are even the slightest fan of pop or modern art you simply have to incorporate the primary colors in there a bit. Try it. I think you'll like it. These base glass colors were used in the beads: Effetre 212 P...

Color Palettes: Olive & Aqua

Lampworking Soft Glass Color Reference I've been doing a half-baked job of taking notes when I make beads ... but I am on a mission to catalog all my bead sets and the glass colors I use to create them. There are three driving reasons for this:  First , I have a hard time remembering what some colors look like after they've been worked in the flame and I want color charts that I can quickly reference. So I do it for me . Second , I am working on my first e-book of color recipes. Since I cannot lampwork fulltime, e-book sales will help continue funding my glass habits. My hope is to build a library of resources so even when I am unable to make art, I can keep my business going.  Finally , I want to share my knowledge and experience. Early in my beadmaking I asked other lampworkers 'do you mind sharing what color that is?' Some were gracious with their knowledge, others were not. And while yes, I do plan to compile much of this information into for profit e-books, I st...
