Have a Dabble Masterclass: Bags and baubles

Step into the rich history of one of the world’s oldest writing materials! Join us for an inspiring, hands-on workshop masterclass exploring oak gall ink.
We’ll begin by uncovering the fascinating story of oak gall ink. It was used for centuries in manuscripts, art and record-keeping. You'll learn how it is traditionally made.
You’ll make your own oak gall ink and explore mark-making. You'll then use these skills to decorate a ceramic bauble.
We’ll then discover how to transform oak gall ink into a printing paste. We'll create and use handmade stencils to create bold, original designs on a reusable tote bag.
This workshop is a great way to treat yourself or bought as a gift for a loved one!
