This special formulation of Red Reactive frit creates stunning effects in your art by taking advantage of chemistry and heat. As the frit melts, the elements in the reactive glass respond to glass containing copper and cause a change where they meet. This reaction appears as a red toned line (or halo) which can vary depending on the copper content, temperature and time.
Typical uses of frit range from pate de verre to shading on fused or blown forms. Mixtures of larger sizes such as mosaic with dark colors in fine or powder provide particularly dramatic effects. Frits can also be cast into molds for fun and dramatic 3 dimensional effects. Opaque frit provides maximum contrast and opacity in a white glass, while the reactive frits can be used to develop unique special effects, ranging from subtle to dramatic.
