A report about my initial effort to make Turkey red. It was a project for an NEH-funded summer school, “Transcending Boundaries” about the Ottoman Empire. In my own defense, I didn’t yet know I had a brain tumor.
I am very impressed by the work Julie H. Wertz did for her PhD at the University of Glasgow (Wertz, Julie Hodges. 2017. “Turkey Red Dyeing in Late19th Century Glasgow: Interpreting the Historical Process Through Re-Creation and Chemical Analysis for Heritage Research and Conservation.” Glasgow, Scotland: University of Glasgow.). Here are three videos she made about Turkey red prints:
