About: Gold inks
At the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Antwerp, Belgium, Department Conservation
and Restoration, a student has made a dissertation about gold inks.
The making of gold powder and the additions are discussed from ancient
recipes, and she succesfully made new examples.
If you are further interested, you can contact me.
