I went to my first pen show and it was AMAZING! So many pens…it was a lot! I loved it and can’t wait until I can attend another and wanted to share with you a few of the highlights of my time at the Atlanta Pen Show (April 4-7, 2024). I had the opportunity to chat with several pen shop retailers and pen/ink creators and wanted to encourage you to hit up a pen show if you have the opportunity, even if you can’t spend hundreds or thousands of dollars. There is much to see and learn!
I spent quite a bit of time with the amazingly tuned TWSBIs paired with Anderillium Inks and Bert Anderson, owner of Anderillium. Can I say these inks are beautiful and created with the sustainability of our planet in mind. I picked up several bottles (and was gifted a bottle by Jon Tello of Hello Tello Studio - check out his unique fountain pen style!) and I’m swatching away for your viewing pleasure and showing a few snippets of the beautiful creations of the artists I saw at the show.
