Working Notes
Reactive cloud opalescent can be easily confused with 000113. Reactive combinations have the potential to create an interface colour, which may continue to develop through multiple firings. Copper-based reactions tend to be variations of deep red to black, while silver-based reactions are more likely to develop as earth tones. Reactions are generally related to the amount of copper and silver content, heatwork and surface area contact.
Frits are versatile and can be used in:
- Pate de verre and kilncasting
- Kilnforming, including glass sketching and painting with light techniques
- Torchworking and blowing, to create colours and patterns on surfaces.
