Wisteria is a deep, opaque violet boro color, available in frit and rod form. In thin layers, it becomes slightly translucent. It prefers a soft, neutral flame. Heating too quickly can release air bubbles that mimic boiling. Ideal for rich, dense effects, it should be worked slowly to reveal its full potential.
Description
Wisteria is a remarkable color in the boro palette. It comes in two forms: frit and rod. Both offer different but complementary possibilities.
As a frit, Wisteria works well on the surface or in inclusions. It has a dense, deep, and highly opaque violet hue. In thin layers, it becomes slightly translucent. This subtle effect adds depth and dimension to pieces.
Wisteria frit responds well to gentle heat. A flame that’s too aggressive can disrupt its texture. Like many opaque colors, it can trap air. These bubbles, caught in the particles, may rise quickly if the flame is too intense. This can create an effect that mimics boiling.
To avoid this, use a soft, wide, neutral flame. Work slowly. Heat gradually. This allows air bubbles to escape gently. The final result will be cleaner, more controlled, and more refined.
Wisteria frit pairs well with other boro colors. It creates sharp contrasts with transparents. It also blends nicely in fades with other Candy opaques. It remains stable, even in fine overlays.
