The Art Glass Colors Database is for all flameworking glass artists. It's intended to be a one-stop resource for information, tips, and tricks on working with specific colors.

As you can imagine, this is a massive undertaking and will only be successful with input from as many people as possible. If you've got experience with a particular color, and are willing to share, you've come to the right place!

The AGCD is organized in the following manner:

•COE

•manufacturer

•type of glass (transparent, opaque, opalino, specials, etc.)

•color

To enter information on a particular color, please include as much of the following as possible:

•color name and manufacturer product number

•picture of color (400x500 pixels max photo size, 500 kb max file size)

•characteristics of the color (e.g. stiff or soft, burns or devits easily, is it a striking or reducing color, is it a reactive color, etc.)

•what colors work well with this color

•what colors do not work well (may be helpful to include why this is so)

•tips and tricks for working with this color

•acceptable substitutes for this color

•your torch make and model

•your fuel type and oxygen source

•anything else you feel folks should be aware of when working with this color

Please feel free to add whatever pages are needed to make this wiki as complete and helpful as possible. Even if you don't have all the information for a particular color of glass, please include your experience anyway - the cooperative nature of a wiki is that many people can contribute and someone else may be able to fill in the blanks.
