Sasha's Oil Slick
A dark member of the amber/purple family,
named for Sasha Hess - he couldn’t get enough of it when it was still an
Experimental color. This color is dense but transparent,
and most often produces olive greens and soft browns. However, with a softer flame you can strike color ON the silver haze, particularly ambers, oranges, and
blues. Oil Slick can also be worked in a very hot, high oxygen flame for
more purples, blues and pastels. Sasha also sometimes kiln-strikes this color for more
variations in shade, or quick-cools it between strikes. Occasionally this glass has
visible bits of silver in the rods which can be mixed in. Versatile!
