The book also includes practical advice and techniques for creating your own pigments, alongside projects to apply your new skill set.
Called the “ochre whisperer” by American Craft, and noted as the “woman archiving the world’s ochre,” in the New York Times, Heidi Gustafson collaborated with Jason Logan on Abrams’ bestselling book Make Ink.
She is featured in Logan’s upcoming documentary, The Colour of Ink, as the ochre-ista.
