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

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. And perhaps bring out that childhood joy elicited from your first fresh box of Crayola crayons.

Reichenbach Glass Color Reference - Part 1

Image
Color Charts for Reichenbach 96 Lampworking Cane A plethora of color charts and color sample pages can be found all over the web for most any glass color in the 104 palette. Unfortunately I have been unable to find a similar resource for the 96 palette. I've been transitioning a lot of my glass studio over to 96 coe and am slowly building my color stash. Most of the time I go in "blind" when making a glass purchase because there may or may not be a picture of beads made with that color. And the photos may or may not be accurate and representative. So this is my new little side project: make spacer beads and catalog colors of every glass I order in 96 coe for reference . Perhaps other lampworkers will find these little color references helpful as well. Happy torching!
