Whether a seasonal color composition, or for truly unique background areas, Uroboros’ Collage sheet glass uses very heavy layers of fracture glass components, taking extra time to arrange colors into visually pleasing patterns for representational or contemporary designs. |

This unique, heavily folded glass is more a sculptured glassy material than it is a sheet glass. It is typically used to suggest fabric folds (hence the name Drapery), heavily contoured flower petals such as the Magnolia, or for purely abstract or sculptural work. |

This non-repeating linear texture is made by a hand cut pattern on the glass rollers. It was designed for use in traditional art glass for long leaf veins, rainy backgrounds, border row pieces, and for Prairie or Mission style geometric designs. |

Fracture glass, or 'Confetti' is made from eggshell-thin blown shards or flakes of intensely colored glass fused to the bottom of sheets during the rolling process. Use them in backgrounds to imply small scale repetitions of foreground features such as leaves or flowers. |

Fracture-Streamer glass is fracture glass combined with hand-stretched streamers or strings of glass. The irregular shaped streamers typically suggest twigs or branches in the background. |

Fracture and Stringer sheet glass from Uroboros provides delightfully ‘crisp’ visual and color highlights for contemporary designs. Fractures are hand-blown, paper thin shards of intensely colored glass fused onto the back of the sheet during the forming process. Stringers are relatively straight pulled ‘strings’ of intensely colored glass. Together Fractures and Stringer sheet glass creates a strong graphic design element.

This popular texture is naturalistic and rough. It is created by a randomized double etched pattern on the glass rollers. The result adds depth, complexity and visual interest to any use, from backgrounds areas to foreground detail. Since Granite is of consistent thickness, it is an easy to use texture for all skill levels |

Granite-Mottle sheet glass is a fusion of two of Uroboros' most popular sheet categories: the Granite texture and Ring Mottle Opalescent. The result is a fairly rough top surface, which refracts and disperses passing light, and softer and more randomly spaced mottles. |

Hand Rippled Sheet Glass is one of the primary specialty glass styles in the representational glass artists' repertoire. Uroboros Glass is an industry leader in the development of various ripple styles, each designed to express specific representational effects. Try them yourself in your next leaf or water areas, where the use of ripples will help make your work a unique heirloom unmatchable by others. |

Ring mottles are a glass maker's technique thought to be lost to the industry for more than 40 years after the closure of the Tiffany Studios. Use them for realistic-looking shadows, sunspots on leaves or ground, or to create small background repeats of larger foreground pieces. |

Spot Mottled sheet glass combines a soft irregular mottling with Uroboros’ signature hand-rolled, slightly rough surface texture. Spot mottles provide non-linear opacity variations without the strong ring pattern of ring mottles. They are excellent for background areas, or for enhancing the illusion of depth behind foreground ring mottle glass. |

In order to retain the traditional look of antique stained glass, Uroboros' Hand Rolled, Hand Mixed Streakies are created with an 'orange peel' texture on both surfaces. This ‘Old World’ surface creates the complex, non-mechanical look and feel that would have made Tiffany himself proud! |

The unparalleled look of Uroboros sheet glass with Streamers is authentic to nature and true to Tiffany. The crooked, lumpy and delightfully quirky shapes of Uroboros’ hand-stretched streamers provide glass artists with a unique visual tool in their ongoing efforts to represent Mother Nature in their work. |
