KAthena Leah Luna comes from my original Striking Glass Masterclass and brings reduction and striking together in one layered Double Helix study.
This tutorial works through the flame chemistry behind the bead as much as the actual construction. We’ll use reduction, striking, silver foil and transparent layers while paying attention to how atmosphere, heat and timing change the color developing in the glass.
Glass + Materials
Double Helix Aurae or Aurae Light
Double Helix Oracle Black
Double Helix Zephyr
Double Helix Luna or KBX970 test batch
Clear stringer
Silver foil
No Luna?
Double Helix KBX970 can be substituted for Luna. You can follow the tutorial exactly as taught using KBX970.
Helpful Prerequisite
Soleil Flame Chemistry is helpful before taking this tutorial.
It is not required, but understanding reduction, striking and flame atmosphere will make it much easier to understand what I am doing in the flame and why.

This is a prerecorded, self-paced tutorial. There is no set class time.
