Details

Purple Luster was designed to provide you with a vibrant purple upon striking.

Working Tip: Get this color white hot to erase the striking history. A variety of effects are achievable depending on how long you flame/kiln strike.

Product Specifications:
Each rod is approximately 20" in length and 7mm in diameter.

Artist Description by Mike Shelbo:
"Purple Luster is definitely one of my favorites and can be many colors depending on how you use it.

I like the color best un-encased because of the ability to use the flame to control how much blue will be on the surface. This color has silver in it, so the amount of reduction you use in your flame settings during the making of the piece will determine how much silver fumes over your work as you manipulate it.

Encasement can yield results of softer, more gradient tones.”

easy color to strike

by

With a reduction flame this color will produce the deepest purples ever. This is a great color an I use it all the time.

Interesting but not fantastic

Purple luster is best used thick or covering other colors like Sno White to really pop. Easily worked, if kilned too hot will blacken and if the piece is already dark before going into the kiln it will only get darker from there. I recommend flame striking it at least twice before putting it into your kiln cycle

awesome color

by
