Gold from Newton's Apple: Historical Recipes for Natural Inks, Paints, and Dyes

An exquisitely illustrated collection of historical guides to creating pigments from flowers and plants.

Flowering currant, ivy, Portuguese laurel, and woad might all have grown in a medieval garden, but it would have taken special expertise to extract and create rich blue and purple pigments from them. Humans have been extracting dyes and inks from natural materials for millennia, and the practice was firmly established during the medieval era, recorded in manuscripts that survive today. Gold from Newton’s Apple Tree brings together recipes for making natural colors according to season, method, and ingredients. Hardcover, 224 pages.
