SWCreations Original Frit Blends for Lampwork (96 COE Glass)

SWCreations Original Frit Blends are artisan glass color mixes developed by Stephanie A. White for lampworking and glass art. Each blend is an in-house formulation created through hands-on testing using premium glass from Reichenbach, Gaffer, and Oceanside.

This page features both original SWCreations frit blends and a limited selection of third-party frit used for comparison purposes. These frit blends have a 96 COE (Coefficient of Expansion), offering reliable compatibility across a wide range of glassworking applications. 

They may also be incorporated into 104 COE work when used sparingly (generally under 10%), allowing for additional creative flexibility. These blends also work in fusing, glassblowing, and pottery work.

Working with frit is an incredibly rewarding part of the lampworking process. My blends are designed to perform beautifully whether applied to the surface, lightly melted in, or fully encased, each method revealing different layers of depth, movement, and color interaction. They can also be pulled into custom stringers for even more design possibilities.

The term “frit” refers to finely crushed glass particles that can be fused into or onto molten glass. When used thoughtfully, frit adds texture, dimension, and a painterly quality to your lampwork beads, transforming each piece into a small, one-of-a-kind work of art.
