Autumn Canopy Frit Blend, 2 oz, 96 COE
Bring the warmth and richness of autumn into your glasswork with Autumn Canopy Frit Blend, a 96 COE signature in-house artisan mix inspired by colorful maple leaves, golden forests, crisp autumn afternoons, and sunlight filtering through a canopy of changing leaves.
This inviting blend combines warm amber, honey gold, rich orange, olive green, soft cream, weathered brown, and carefully placed accents of purple and pink that echo the surprising flashes of berry and violet often found among autumn foliage. As the glass melts and develops in the flame, the colors spread, soften, and layer together to create finished work filled with flowing ribbons, painterly movement, woodland mosaics, and the warmth of the fall season.
Designed for 96 COE glass systems, Autumn Canopy performs beautifully for lampworking, fusing, glass blowing, and surface decoration techniques. The blend reveals multiple personalities depending on how it is worked. Mosaic applications preserve distinct fragments of color that resemble scattered autumn leaves across the forest floor, while swirl techniques encourage graceful ribbons of amber, cream, and orange that evoke sunlight drifting through changing trees. Encasing enhances luminosity, depth, and layered color transitions while adding remarkable dimension beneath the glass surface. Compatible with 104 COE when used in small quantities (5–10%). As always, we recommend testing on a smaller project before committing to a larger project.
One of Autumn Canopy's most appealing qualities is its versatility across different base glass colors. Light neutral bases create cheerful woodland mosaics with crisp autumn colors, while transparent bases develop flowing ribbons with surprising depth and warmth. Warmer cream and beige bases soften the palette into natural harvest tones, allowing every bead to develop its own personality while remaining unmistakably part of the same autumn-inspired collection.

Inspired By
Autumn Canopy was inspired by walks beneath colorful forests at the height of fall, where golden sunlight filters through layers of changing leaves. Warm oranges, honey golds, earthy browns, soft greens, and unexpected hints of purple and berry create a landscape that feels both vibrant and peaceful. This blend captures the richness of the season, producing glasswork filled with warmth, movement, and the natural beauty of autumn.
Handcrafted in small batches in the USA by glass artist Stephanie A. White, each jar offers consistent quality while allowing for the natural variation expected of artisan-blended materials. Colors may vary slightly due to lighting, screen settings, application technique, base glass selection, and individual firing conditions.
