Working Notes

Torch: Gold Purple in rod form becomes lighter in color once flameworked. When molten, this glass has a low viscosity and can be quite soft, which may result in a blurred edge where it meets other glasses.

Kiln: Not recommended for kilnforming.

Other: The name “Gold Purple” comes from the gold that is used as an ingredient in the manufacturing process.
