Description:
Origin Eggplant Frit is a large grade color frit used in lampworking to add rich purple color with a bold, broken-up frit pattern. Frit is made by crushing compatible colored glass and screening it into specific particle sizes, and the large grade is chosen when you want more pronounced speckling, heavier pickup, and a more textured, organic look than fine frit. This style of frit is especially useful for quick color placement on beads and small sculpture, for building mottled or stone-like surfaces, and for adding strong accent zones without having to pull or apply stringer.
How it is used:
- Heat the area of the piece you want to color until it is evenly hot and slightly tacky on the surface.
- Roll or press the hot glass into a frit tray to pick up particles, then lightly tap off excess for cleaner results.
- Melt in slowly to secure the frit, then choose a final finish by fully melting smooth or leaving slight texture for a more granular surface.
- Layer over a base color or combine with other frit sizes to create depth, transitions, and more complex surface effects.
