[Scriptoris] Pigments and mullers and binders, oh, my!

[hsetrinity at aol.com]

Thanks to all the folks who attended my class on Creating Paint from Pigment at King's College. It was hot, the glair was smelly, and we had a few cases of unintentional cochineal paint due to insects flying/crawling/otherwise making their way into the paint during the mulling process, but I hope that you all enjoyed the experience and learned as much as I did! Special thanks to Lady Kaithleen Hamilton from Bordermarch, who served as my "Lovely Assistant®"  and helped me to haul boxes of supplies, setup the class, and clean up afterwards - words simply can't do justice to how much you were appreciated!
