Blending 96COE Glass Powders: A Creative Guide to Expanding Your Color Palette

Written by glass artist Barb Byrne, this comprehensive eBook is designed to give 96COE artists a creative springboard for experimenting with color in powder form. With clear examples, side-by-side comparisons, and a wide range of tested blends, Blending 96COE Glass Powders opens up new possibilities for developing rich, layered, and entirely unique color palettes.

The guide explores how both 200 White and 00 Clear interact with Oceanside’s opal and transparent powders, and showcases more advanced blends using two- and three-color mixes. It also introduces artists to a variety of specialty powder lines, including Val Cox, Sharona, Gaffer, and Reichenbach (some of which may be new to many in the 96COE community).

Whether an artist is looking to deepen their favorite hues, lighten a tone, or experiment with completely new combinations, this book provides both inspiration and a practical foundation for discovery.
