Each ink begins with a walk — — sometimes along London’s tree-lined canals, sometimes under the banyans and camphor trees of Hong Kong.
Other times, it begins at a traditional Chinese herb shop, selecting roots and botanicals known for their colour and healing properties.
Handmade in London, this Oak Acorn Ink Set is a small, quiet celebration of the city’s trees.
Each acorn was foraged locally from London oak trees, then slowly transformed into a natural, earthy brown ink with a warm, organic character. Every batch is made by hand in small quantities, using traditional methods and a touch of essential oil as a natural preservative.

Full description
(1)Description:
This set includes:
-10ml bottle of handmade oak acorn ink
-1 refillable watercolour brush
-2 plain watercolour paper cards (perfect for testing strokes or gifting)
-1 real London acorn, included as part of the package
-Wrapped in Japanese washi paper naturally dyed in soft botanical colours
The ink produces a gentle, warm brown—rich enough for expressive line work, soft washes, small illustrations, journaling, or botanical studies. Every bottle carries the subtle variation and character of the original material, making each set truly one-of-a-kind.
A thoughtful gift for nature lovers, journal keepers, slow crafters, calligraphy beginners, and anyone who wants to experience a little bit of London’s woodland magic.
Instructions for Use
Each bottle may vary slightly in colour, depth, and texture — a natural characteristic of handmade botanical inks. The ink is preserved with essential oils to protect against mould and extend its lifespan.
Gently shake before use. The grey ink will darken on paper as it dries and reacts with oxygen.
Designed by Alice Fu in London
