Applying different glass colors—whether it is frit, shards, powders, or canes—to a clear bubble on a blowpipe results in not only interesting color combinations, but also different surface patterns and designs as these colors melt into the surface of the glass bubble. The challenge is working with multiple colors at the same time, because each colored glass melts at a different temperature and can potentially change the overall shape and design of the piece as it is being formed.

Some colors (such as black and dark blue) are made from chemicals that will “reduce” when exposed to a high concentration of gas and heat in the glory hole, resulting in a subtle rainbow of colors on the surface.

Adding a layer of cane on the inside of a bowl increases the complexity of making the piece and heightens the overall appearance.
