Item Description
Penrose Design
The remarkable color and depth of Penrose glass beads are achieved through an intricate glass blowing technique of layering clear glass over a core of pigmented glass. Ricky forms these layers of 2200 degree hot glass on a blowpipe, then stretches the hot glass into 25 -foot long pencil-thin rods called "cane." Once cooled, the canes are cut into small individually shaped beads and tumbled for 20 hours to soften edges. The beads are then fire polished in a small oven at 1250 degrees. Fire-polishing transforms the dull matte beads into smooth glass with brilliant clarity.
