In his new book, Make Ink: A Forager's Guide to Natural Inkmaking , Logan demystifies the process, encouraging experimentation and taking a fresh look at urban environments., There are loads of craft books so pretty you might happily put them on your coffee table and never do anything more than flip through them admiringly. Others you actually crack open and make things from. As beautifully written as it is photographed and designed, this one begs to be read from cover to cover, like a good essay collection, whether or not you ever attempt to make your own inks..., Ink's ingredients are usually closely held secrets, but one artist shows how you can make it with items found all across the city, from soggy walnuts to rusty bedsprings., This book filled with ink recipes, minimalistic photography and lots of inspiration caught our eye immediately. , Logan's artful test sheets (above) hold their own alongside works by Marcel Dzama, Margaret Atwood, Leanne Shapton and others, all made with his inks., Logan's essays about foraging for copper under bridges in Harlem, or scouring for berries at the beach, will make you want to go outside and be a magpie. Maybe ink-making is the new broom-making., He also has quite a few recipes in his upcoming book, Make Ink: A Forager's Guide to Natural Inkmaking (Abrams Books, September 2018), that use color from the kitchen: carrots, black beans, blueberries, turmeric, and onion skins all make beautiful ink colors., The book is full of inspiration and takes a lot of the mystery out of ink making, at least at its simplest level. And it also reminds me why I love ink -- any ink or liquid color as much as I do., "Logan includes recipe variations for attaining specific colors such as Vine Charcoal, Pokeberry and Silvery Acorn Cap. The final third of the book relaxes into art with examples of Logan's own ink tests as well as work from others who have experimented with his inks, such as Dave Eggers and Margaret Atwood. ("At least one bottle of wild grape ink almost exploded on its way to Stephen King," he writes.) A conversation with author Michael Ondaatje rounds out this exquisite volume."

Synopsis
A 2018 Best Book of the Year-- The Guardian The Toronto Ink Company was founded in 2014 by designer and artist Jason Logan as a citizen science experiment to make eco-friendly, urban ink from street-harvested pigments. In Make Ink, Logan delves into the history of inkmaking and the science of distilling pigment 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, Make Ink combines science, art, and craft to instill the basics of ink making and demonstrate the beauty and necessity of engaging with one of mankind's oldest tools of communication., An illuminating guide to making eco-friendly ink at home using scavenged materials from the founder of the Toronto Ink Company, From designer and artist Jason Logan, founder of the Toronto Ink Company--a citizen science experiment to make eco-friendly, urban ink from street-harvested pigments-- Make Ink delves into the history of inkmaking and the science of distilling pigment from the natural world. Foreword by Booker Prize-winning author Michael Ondaatje "Once you start making ink, the world never quite looks the same." Martha Stewart "In my experience, inkmaking is easiest when you are patient and remain open to everything. Some of the most interesting effects of handmade inkmaking happen when the unexpected happens. Wherever it takes you, the ink you make yourself can only be your own color. Follow your instincts. There is no wrong path." --from the Introduction 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. Chapters include: A Forager's Checklist What Is Ink and How Is It Made Natural Ink: A Basic Recipe Colors and Recipes The Ground Rules of Natural Inkmaking Testing Ink on Paper And more! Organized by color, with a glossary of terms and a guide to resources, and featuring lovely minimalist photography throughout, Make Ink combines science, art, and craft to instill the basics of ink making and demonstrate the beauty and necessity of engaging with one of humankind's oldest tools of communication.
