Sasha's Oil Slick - Trautman
Details
A dark member of the amber/purple family, named for Sasha Hess - he couldn’t get enough of it when it was still an experimental color. This color is dense, but transparent, and most often produces olive greens and soft browns. However, with a softer flame you can strike color ON the silver haze, particularly ambers, oranges, and blues.
Oil Slick can also be worked in a very hot, high oxygen flame for more purples, blues and pastels. Sasha sometimes kiln-strikes this color for more variations in shade, or quick-cools it between strikes. Occasionally this glass has visible bits of silver in the rods which can be mixed in. Versatile!

Wonderful, creamy color
by Renée H -
One of my go-to colors-easy to work, great to honeycomb with, and easy to achieve a wide range of rich color, cooks in like butter and doesn't burn or boil.

Opinion review of color
by August Gough
By far one of my top 3 favorites from TAG. Can get an amazing array of colors out of it just by tons of different methods. Kiln strike, flame chemistry/strike, sleeving it, and pretty much anything else I've tried to do with it has yielded amazing results
You gotta try some of this!

They colors you can get from this are amazing. I love how it can look amber until light hits it just right and you get greens/blues/purples on top of it, nailing that "oil slick" name perfectly!
