Kaleidoscope Pop Frit Blend, 2 oz, 96 COE Frit Blend

Kaleidoscope Pop is a bold, joy-filled frit blend created for artists who love vibrant color, playful contrast, and expressive glasswork. This energetic mix combines bright reds, sunny yellows, vivid blues, fresh greens, lively pinks, soft purples, and crisp white accents, all balanced by clear glass accents for added depth and light.

Designed to stay colorful and distinct in the flame, Kaleidoscope Pop creates everything from crisp mosaic and confetti-style patterns to flowing ribbons of blended color, depending on your technique. The palette is intentionally balanced to maintain separation and vibrancy, allowing the individual colors to remain visible while still working together in a cohesive, high-energy mix.

When lightly applied, the blend produces bright, graphic surface designs with strong contrast and playful movement. With additional heat, the colors soften and swirl together into layered, painterly effects filled with depth and motion. White and lighter tones help diffuse the brighter colors slightly, preventing the blend from becoming muddy while preserving its bold, candy-like personality.

Touches of clear glass create luminous areas throughout the design, adding dimension and helping the colors glow when encased. The result is a lively, artistic palette that feels cheerful, modern, and full of creative energy.

This blend performs beautifully in mosaic, swirl, encased, and layered bead styles, making it versatile for both structured and freeform designs.

Designed primarily for 96 COE glass. This blend may also be used with 104 COE glass in small amounts (approximately 5–10%). As with any mixed-COE application, testing is strongly recommended before use in finished work.
