Reactive Ice Clear Transparent Bullseye 0.5mm Stringer 1009
- Description
- Working Notes
-
Reactive Ice develops cool, crystalline patterning through kiln interaction, emphasising texture and movement. Its surface feels light and unpredictable.
Stringers offer Bullseye colour in a fine, linear format for detailed kilnformed and torchworked glass. Pulled from remelted Bullseye Compatible sheet glass, they retain the character and working properties of the original colour in a slender, versatile form.
Used for linework, stringer sheets, borders, and surface patterning, they can be laid on the surface, embedded between layers, or arranged to build graphic and rhythmic compositions. For a practical example, see our Quick Tip: Fine Lines.
These stringers are available in 0.5 mm for a fine line and are approximately 451 mm long.They are packaged in clear plastic tubes measuring 457 mm long and 19 mm in diameter. Counts per tube vary by thickness and colour.
Like Bullseye sheet glass, stringers are made by hand, and slight variation is normal.

Working Notes
Part of a series that includes Reactive Cloud Opal (000009) and Red Reactive Clear (001019). Reactive Ice Clear is designed to react with copper-bearing styles and also reacts with silver. Reactive combinations have the potential to create an interface color, which may continue to develop through multiple firings. When combined with some copper-bearing styles Reactive Ice creates an interface colour that can range from dark red to black. When combined with silver the reactions are more likely to develop as earth tones.
Reactions are generally related to the amount of copper and/or silver within the components, heatwork, and surface area contact between the reactive components.
