Description:
Origin Bubblegum Pink Frit in the small size is a colored glass frit that has been crushed and screened to a consistent small particle range. Frit is used in lampworking when you want quick, repeatable color application without pulling stringers or doing full rod coverage, and it is especially helpful for building bright surface color, speckling, and layered effects on beads and small sculptural work. The small grade gives a balance of visual texture and smooth melt-in, making it a solid choice when you want more breakup and pattern than fine frit while still being easy to fully melt in and lightly encase for a clean finish.
How it is used:
- Warm the frit in a kiln-safe dish or keep it near the torch to reduce thermal shock and improve consistent pickup.
- Roll a warm bead or gather in the frit, or press the hot glass into the frit for more targeted placement.
- Melt the frit in gradually, rotating evenly to keep the layer uniform and to avoid trapping bubbles.
- Lightly encase with clear glass after the frit is fully melted in if you want a smoother surface and added depth.
- Apply in thin layers for better control, or combine with other frit sizes to build gradients and mottled color transitions.
