C105 Red and French Vanilla Striped Cane COE 90 Glass

Hand-pulled glass cane, inspired by traditional Italian Glassblowing.

Made with 100% Bullseye glass, using special techniques to minimize heatwork and preserve compatibility with COE 90 glasses.

Three sizes available:

• 12" cane: one cane, 12 inches long, 4 to 7 mm in diameter, consistent from end to end (less than 1mm variation in diameter for any single piece). Great for any project, they can be cut to just the right size.
• Shorts: 12 sections of cane, 2.5 inches long.
• Samples: 3 sections of cane, 2 inches long.

Samples and shorts may vary a bit more in diameter and twist frequency. These are great for smaller projects, or if you need a variety of thicknesses. Also, torchworkers can quickly heat and pull the cane thinner. Attach a mandrell or glass rod to each end and you are ready make thin twisties.

How To Use:

You can get a variety of fusing results by setting up your base glass differently. Try these techniques and others to find out what you like best:

1. 1. 6mm flat base (two layers of 3mm sheet). Place cane on top and full fuse.
2. 2. 3mm base. Place cane on top with 6mm glass rod sections filling the spaces between. Full fuse.
3. 3. Use sheet glass strips instead of 6mm rod to fill the space between canes. Full Fuse.
4. 4. Single 3mm sheet base. Place the cane on top and full fuse.
