Northstar Glassworks
Plum Kush
Black sparkle glass that works creamy and easily; suited for sculptural and blown work. Work in an oxidizing flame — reduction causes gray streaks and a dull matte finish.
Outcomes
-
Black with sparkle, creamy and smoothApply color gently at first; once melted in it can take a lot of heat. Keep flame oxidizing throughout.
-
Gray streaks with dull matte finish (when reduced)A reductive environment causes gray streaks to develop on the surface and results in a dull matte finish — considered an undesirable outcome by the manufacturer.
Working notes
