After conducting a workshop on metal lusters and surface work, a student asked why there were no black luster colors.  What a brilliant idea.   Inspired by this conversation, we started playing with various formulas that would have the following characteristics: be black, opaque, difficult to muddy, easy to luster, demonstrate non-metallic striking effects! After extensive testing of several formulas, Black Pearl, 9789 was introduced as a Revolution 33 color and was an immediate hit.

Working Tip: Flame or kiln strike at 1075°F.  Work neutral; reduce at end for metallic effects.

Tiger's Eye is a Beryl based sparkle color utilizing the next generation sparkle technology found in Paparazzi.

Working Tip:  This color likes to be worked cool, but make sure you have your heat base built up while tooling or manipulating the glass to avoid developing a gray haze. As with all chrome colors, we suggest you work this color in a neutral flame.  Garage at 975° F, Anneal at 1050° F.

Amazon Canyon, 8387 is a unique color in the borosilicate palette.  A highly saturated striking color that produces amazing, organic, earthy browns mixed with creams as well as astounding metallic surfaces.  This color has a unique look that will set your work apart from the rest.

Working Tip: Flame or kiln strike at 1075°F.  Work neutral; reduce at end for metallic effects. Have fun, this is a playful color that likes to be punished.  Re-strike selected areas multiple times introducing reduction from time-to-time to maximize the potential.
