powder fade

Post by Nixncuts »

Hi Does anyone know the term powder fade. It is used to make designs in glass?
I have seen the results but don't know what it takes to make it happen.

A powder fade is a gradation from light to heavy. It can be accomplished in a few ways, one is to slowly raise your sieve as you apply the powder, another is to apply multiple overlapping coats. Bullseye teaches this and I think it is covered in a Tech Sheet.
