Process & Production
This recipe instructed that iron filings were treated with wine vinegar in a clay bowl and dried in the sun. For this reconstruction the clay bowl was placed inside, on a windowsill exposed to the sun. When completely dried, the filings were ground and passed through a 700 µm sieve. The largest particles remaining were exposed to wine vinegar and dried in the sun before being sieved again. Particles which passed through the sieve were kept. Finally, the powder was mixed with gum Arabic dissolved in vinegar and painted on glass.Find more at: Â. Santos, M. Vilarigues (2019).
