During this workshop, you will delve into the alchemical world of ancient ink. We will reveal some of the recipes and methods which were applied in ink manufacturing during the middle ages and how they were then used. You will witness the reactive relationship between iron and tannin and how this combination has been crucial to ink formulation throughout history.

You will experience and learn how to make rich dark writing and drawing inks based on intriguing medieval recipes, as well as the time old ink made from oak galls. We will also be making inks from some more unusual sources that can be foraged from the local landscape.

You will take home a selection of beeswax sealed viles of inks you have made yourself, which will make a beautiful festive gift for you or a loved one.
