Inks & Paints of the Islamic Golden Age
Join us as Joumana Medlej takes us through the pigments and dyes that made up the Islamic scribe’s colour palette. Joumana will describe their preparation and particularities from a practitioner’s perspective and share process photos from her re-creation of ink recipes from the tenth to thirteenth centuries, along with insights into inkmaking practices gleaned from these texts.
