Venue: Reading Abbey Gateway
In this 2 hour workshop, 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. Participants will take home a pot of ink and plenty of inspiration to start writing their own masterpieces!
All materials supplied.
