Sifter



11/18/10 - Sifter - There are a few various types of sifters that can be used in glass fusing. Purchase sifters for embellishing glass or sorting frit sizes.

When sorting glass frit, the purchased sifters come in an array of sizes. These will help you sort your glass into; powder, fine, medium and coarse. They look like medium sized metal colanders. Once the glass has been sorted into the different sizes, store the sizes in plastic bags. Be sure to mark the color and size on the outside of the bag.

The other usage for sifters is to enhance your artwork. Using a sifter will offer you the chance to lightly cover or sprinkle frit over your glass. Using a sifter will give your piece a nice even coat.
