Aurae Double Helix Rod
- Description
- Working Notes
-
Aurae is a light purple, silver-reduction glass. Variations in the reduction process create mirrored iridescent or satin-textured lustres. If encased, the lustre results in a pearlescent effect.
-
Work in a neutral flame. Cool until the glass is no longer glowing. Expose the glass to a reduction flame, while keeping it from getting hot. Brief (5-10 seconds) and repeated exposures produce the best results. For the satin textured lustre, work in the tip of a larger reduction flame, let it cool and then briefly reduce again until a subtle texture begins to form.
