Info
Make Ink offers a fascinating insight into the world of color and explores how the ability to harness beautiful colors is always within arms reach. Designer and artist Jason Logan has always been drawn to the beautiful colors which exist around us, and in 2014 he founded the Toronto Ink Company - a means of making his dreams a reality and creating eco-friendly, urban ink from street-harvested pigments.
In this book, Logan delves into the history of inkmaking and explores the science of distilling pigments from the natural world. Readers will learn how to forage for materials such as soot, rust, cigarette butts, peach pits, and black walnut, then how to mix, test, and transform these ingredients into rich, vibrant inks that are sensitive to both place and environment. Organized by color, and featuring lovely minimalist photography throughout, this book combines science, art, and craft, demonstrating the beauty of ink and its value as a medium.
