"Alright so now we're going to make our frit. So I got two little pieces of glass here. This is what I'm going to use for a frit. In case you were wondering, if you don't know what a frit is, a frit is just small pieces of broken up glass. Pretty simple. Alright, so we're going to pop them in. Now you want to use small pieces. You don't want to use big pieces. Cause it will take forever to break and you will break your hand trying to do it. At the same time, with the more crushes you put into it the finer the frit. The less crushes the coarser it will be. We're going to go for a more in the middle towards the course side. We'll give it a little bit more. I don't know if you could see in there but this is all our frit. It is all broken up. If you can't see it very well you will see it soon. We will pour it out when we get to and get a good look at it. Alright now that's making frit. That's how we do it."
