The adult oak gall wasp lays its egg in the branch of an oak tree. The oak tree responds by growing a marble-shaped ball of oak flesh around the egg. The egg incubates in its safe home, before hatching and eating its way out of the gall. The gall is now waste, and the wasp moves on with the next part of its life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOak galls are fantastic for ink making because they are extremely tannin-rich. After harvesting the empty oak galls, we crush them, soak them in water to release the tannins. To this mixture, we add a little iron, and the tannin-rich water transforms from dark brown to midnight black. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe use only vacated galls. That means the wasp has already burrowed its way out of the gall through a little exit hole.
