About Crippy, 4695

Crippy is a rich transparent green borosilicate glass from Glass Alchemy — a refined, high-performance evolution of Kryptonite that sits between Haterade and Portland Green on the GA green spectrum.

Exceptional optical clarity gives it remarkable depth and light play, especially in thicker applications.

Extremely workable across hollow, solid, and long-session lampworking with or without encasement, it fades and layers beautifully while delivering a strong, clean green tint when blown thin over clear or other colors.

Working Tip: For best results, work in a neutral flame. 

Artist Description by Mike Shelbo:

"Crippy is a rich and vibrant transparent green that has little to zero air content and high clarity. This color is extremely workable in all situations including hollow, solid and long working projects. It can be used with or without encasement in clear. It is crucial in the rainbow palette of Transparents from Glass Alchemy and when blending with other cool colors.

Crippy can be blown out thin for a strong green tint over clear, white or other colors. This color is great for layering and fades as well.

Don't overwork in a heavy propane flame and on a project with long working time, lower your kiln holding temperature to 980-1015 F, until it's time to anneal at 1040 F. 

Crippy is beautiful when paired with Sno White, Lemon Drop or Purple Rain as well as many other colors both opaque and transparent." - Mike Shelbo
