Traditional ink making and writing workshop

In this 2 hour workshop led by Nicky Temple, we’ll explore the history of ink making and discover the wide variety of useful materials and resources found in nature – including the oak gall.

We will experiment with Jane Austen’s own recipe to make the oak gall ink with which she penned her famous novels, and play with a range of dip pens, quills, and brushes.
