“Named a Best Book of 2018."
*The Guardian*
“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.”
*Forbes, Most Giftable Coffee Table Books*
“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.”
*Wall Street Journal*
“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.”
*NPR*
“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.”
*Top Pick in Lifestyles, Book Page*
“Make Ink opens up about methods, providing an open source guide to
DIY ink.”
*CityLab*
“Once you start making ink, the world never quite looks the
same.”
*Martha Stewart*
“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."
*Design Observer*
“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.”
*Well Appointed Desk*
“This book filled with ink recipes, minimalistic photography and
lots of inspiration caught our eye immediately. "
*Fine Little Day*
“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…”
*Fringe Association*
