Working notes:

Torch: Depending on the heatwork of the glass, as indicated by colour when it is put into an annealing kiln, a range of colours may be achieved. If this glass is put into an annealing kiln with a deep brown hue, a target Cinnabar colour will result in the finished piece. If it is a very light beige, as opposed to deep brown, and the desired result is Cinnabar, gradually cool and reheat the glass without bringing it to a soft state. Look for it to turn deep brown and then put it into an annealing kiln.

Kiln: Lighter colour and greater opacity than in sheet glass form. Rod colour is close to 0329 Burnt Orange, after a full fuse firing.
