"Warm the glass slowly in the flame. When you work it slow, the way it wants to be worked, the resulting beads are crystal clear. . . If I warmed it too quickly, I could feel the rod pop and see shattering through the glass, although the glass didn't actually splinter off. I would warm the glass again and still form a bead which would then include hundreds of bubbles and created a look similar to seeded glass." Read more at Kanna Glass Studio's blog. |

"Sapphire does not have the tendency to boil and scum that many transparent blues have. It is a very user friendly glass, very easy to work with."
