Preparing to paint with medieval paints tomorrow. Tonight, we make egg glair!
It's simple stuff. Take some eggs
Your goal: beat your egg whites to stiff peaks, without using any sugar or cream of tartar. Big fan of the electric mixer at this point - living in the future is great! teapaw.org/HargrettHours/status/1…
Separate your eggs, cause you only need the whites.

And now it sits on the counter overnight. You want the beaten egg whites to separate. Not recommended for meringue, totally recommended for medieval paints teapaw.org/HargrettHours/status/1…

ALT Open handmade book with Coptic writing in black and red
Since we're doing "book technologies" rather than more traditional "manuscript studies" this semester, this seems an apt way to start the semester.

Yeah it's in French, but still. Hours of fun for the whole family!

Yes. Traditionally, parchment is made from animal skins. This is made from salad.
I'm sorry, did you say VEGAN PARCHMENT?
