Ink Making 101
May 18 @ 11:15 am - 1:15 pm EDT
$36.00 – $40.00This class is for the ink-curious! It assumes no knowledge of ink-making, and we will start from the very beginning with an easy first project- fruit ink. Using a selection of berries and very larder-friendly items, you can make your first batch of ink suitable for writing with a metal nib or quill or as a watercolor wash.
After you have bottled your first batch, it is time for a few fun experiments with mordents and modifiers. This gives you a larger palette to work with and more options for experimentation. We shall finish with a few ideas and examples of other organic materials suitable for ink-making.
This is a fun and easy way to start your own ink-making adventure. Absolutely no stress or chemical formulae involved! You may want to wear clothes that you do not mind getting a tiny bit dirty, and your fingers might get berry juice on them – an artist’s proof that they have been working! Everything you need, including materials and tools, is included.
