Item Name: Double Helix Notos Rod SKU: DHGNOTOS Description: Double Helix Notos Rod is a 104 COE soft glass rod produced by Double Helix Glass. Notos displays shades of silver and grays in its natural state and is a kiln striking color that reveals rich metallic colors when struck. The transformation from the unworked gray appearance to vibrant metallic tones through kiln striking makes Notos a particularly rewarding color for artists who enjoy the element of surprise in their work. The rod is approximately 12 inches long with a diameter of 5-7mm, making it ideal for detailed work and color accents. Double Helix glass is known for its consistent quality and predictable color development through both flame work and kiln processes. How it is used: This rod is used in 104 COE soft glass lampworking when you want to create striking effects with kiln striking. Notos is particularly valued by beadmakers and sculptural artists who want to develop metallic effects through controlled annealing and kiln striking processes. Use it as a color accent on beads, sculptural forms, and detailed work where you want the glass to transform dramatically during the kiln striking process. The glass can be applied as surface decoration or worked into the core of your piece. After torch work is complete, place your finished piece in the kiln and strike it to reveal the rich metallic colors hidden within the gray base glass. This glass rewards careful annealing and kiln striking techniques to achieve the full range of metallic effects. Dimensions: 12" Length 5mm - 7mm Diameter
