001412 Light Aventurine Green

Cold Characteristics

This style is categorized as a Transparent glass, though very little light is transmitted through the 3mm sheet. Consistent color.

Working Notes

This style is categorized as a Transparent glass, though very little light is transmitted through the 3mm sheet. Opalizes slightly upon firing. Fusible / Bullseye-compatible.

Tiny metallic sparkles, also referred to as spangles, concentrate at the outer surfaces of the sheet glass in the factory-production forming process, including around the rolled edge. The core of the sheet is not metallic.

Design opportunities and characteristics:

• Expand the aventurine color palette by capping with various medium saturation glass styles. See Quick Tip Sparkle, Sparkle
• When fired to a full fuse, cut sheet glass elements used on the surface of a project fire with a solid, not sparkly border.
• Explore displacement effects with the use of various clear or transparent glasses on the top surface to distort the surface.
• Edge construction techniques typically result in an inhomogeneous sparkled result because the core of the sheet is not metallic.

Cold Characteristics

Gritty, sparkled surface that is rougher and slightly more transparent than Aventurine Green Transparent (001112-0576).

Working Notes

Torch: In the flame, the gritty texture of the cold rod translates to light sparkles suspended in a smooth transparent green glass. When molten, this glass has an extremely low viscosity and can be quite soft, which may result in a blurred edge where it meets other glasses.

Kiln: Sparkles are more densely populated on the outer surface of the rod. Other 001412-0576 is more of a yellow-green with larger sparkles than 001112-0576. This difference is most evident in thin applications.
