For October's Found Sound, Alice visits multidisciplinary artist and writer, Caroline Ross, at her new home in Hexham, Northumberland, where they make ink from oak galls. They discuss the rich history of natural inks, and the importance of using our hands for everyday tasks - and to create beauty.

This episode was produced by Alice Boyd, with support from Catriona Bolt at Ffern. Found Sounds are sonic scrapbooks of field recordings and interviews with people keeping heritage crafts alive. They are part of Ffern's podcast, 'As the Season Turns', a collaboration with Lia Leendertz. Ffern is an organic fragrance maker based in Somerset.
