An 18th-Century Workshop in the 21st Century: Recovering Spanish Royal Factory Techniques with Historical Pigments and Binders
Greetings. This is not just a tutorial; it is a mission to recover the lost chemistry of the Spanish Royal Factories (Carlos IV).
I work with historical mineral pigments and organic binders—such as hand-calcined alum and Blanco de España—following 18th-century treaties. I avoid all modern synthetic resins to create authentic mineral distemper and encaustics. My goal is to treat the wood so it petrifies naturally, creating a heritage piece that will last another 100 years. I am happy to share this step-by-step process from my workshop. Any technical questions are welcome!
