Amber Purple Layering, Encasement, and Design Choices
Amber Purple becomes far more controllable when you treat each layer as part of an optical system. This guide explains how Star White, Yellow, Orange, Violet, Lavender, clear caps, flame striking, and kiln striking affect the final result.
Amber Purple: Cooling, Annealing, and What Happens After the Torch
Amber Purple glass continues to develop even after the torch is turned off. In this post, we explore how cooling and annealing affect colour stability, clarity, and depth, and why proper temperature control in the kiln is just as important as heat cycles at the bench. Understanding this phase helps prevent dulling, preserve colour, and…
Amber Purple at the Torch: Heat Cycles, Atmosphere, and Control
Amber Purple is a striking borosilicate colour that responds directly to heat cycles, flame atmosphere, and timing at the torch. In this post, we explore how Amber Purple develops during repeated heating and cooling, why neutral and oxidizing flames produce cleaner results, and how rotational speed affects silver haze and colour clarity. This guide is…
