What is Frit?

Frit is a ceramic material that has been pre-fused, typically through a process of melting and then grinding into a fine powder. It is commonly used in the production of glazes, enamels, and glass, as it helps achieve specific colors, textures, and thermal properties. Frit can also enhance the durability and adhesion of these materials when fired in kilns. Additionally, it allows for safer handling of raw materials, as the toxic components are often encapsulated in the glass structure.
