Oak galls are rich in tannin and other compounds that create an intense black pigment when mixed with iron salts. The ink made from it is indelible and perfect for brush or pen. We will take a short walk to a nearby park to gather some galls, then back to the printshop for the inkmaking. We’ll make enough to do some drawing and brush work on various papers to test its qualities. Other materials provided …and each person will take home a vial of ink.
