Description:
Origin Baby Blue Frit (S) is a small-grade frit in a soft baby-blue color, made for adding consistent color and surface detail to borosilicate lampworking work. Frit is crushed glass that’s been screened into a specific particle size, and the small grade is ideal when you want controlled coverage without the heavy buildup you can get from larger chunks. It’s commonly used for rolling hot gathers, spot-applying color accents, building layered surface effects, and creating reactive or dimensional looks when paired with other colors, clear encasement, or light surface melting.
How it is used:
- Warm the frit slightly if needed to reduce thermal shock risk, then keep it in a frit tray or shallow dish for easy access.
- Heat the area of your piece until it is evenly molten and tacky, then gently roll or dab the hot glass into the frit.
- Reheat to tack the frit in securely, then melt it in smooth for a clean surface or leave slightly raised for texture.
- Use light applications for subtle color shifts, or layer multiple passes to build stronger opacity and depth.
- For cleaner results, avoid overheating too aggressively at first, which can smear the particles before they seat evenly.
