Ohio Black Walnut Ink

Walnut ink has been used for centuries as a drawing and writing medium. It’s made from the husks of walnuts, which naturally produce a dark brown stain. We make it in small batches from black walnuts harvested locally, which are slowly boiled in water until the liquid has reduced, which is then strained and filtered. A small amount of gum arabic is added to improve viscosity, as well as alcohol for stability and shelf life.

We plan to have this ink available again later this year after our local walnut season!

20 mL glass bottle.
