About this item
This ink made from refined Bideford Black pigment is classed as Carbon black. The pigment comes from fossilised ferns, laid down 300 million years ago creating a coal seam. The ink needs a binder like Gum Arabic or honey, I also make iron oxide and copper oxide to help the finished ink bite into the surface. A whole clove is added to the bottle to help preservation.

Bought 1 itemI bought this for an artist friend for their birthday and they were thrilled with it - this was the actual phrase they used. The item was beautifully packaged and packed with love. I think I will be back for more pigments at a later date. Thanks!
