Blend your very own perfect pigmented ink!
In this taster class, suitable for all experience levels, participants will blend and create their own signature ink colour, and then swatch and label it. These handmade inks are suitable for drawing or writing with dip pen or brush, but please note they are not recommended for fountain pens.
Along with learning about ink-making process and blending a colour, you can add sparkles, and scent to your ink if you wish.
At the end you will go home with a bottle of the unique ink created by you. This ink can be yours to treasure and use, or to gift on to another.
This workshop goes for one hour and is suitable for ages 12 and up. All participants under the age of 14 must be accompanied by a parent or caregiver for the duration of the session.
