Art from the Landscape - Wildcrafted Pens and Inks

Description:

Join us for a day of making pens and inks from the living landscape! We will learn to make dip pens from a variety of materials, including: turkey feathers, reeds, birch bark, bamboo and sticks of various species. Learn the basics of making and preserving ink. We’ll be making ink from black walnut hulls and tannic-iron inks from acorns, in addition to a rich black ink made from birch bark. We will also look at how to use various berries for experimentation. Give your creative work a handmade edge with pens and inks that you made yourself.
