This video explores the surprising history of fountain pens while having some fun.
For many centuries writers and artists needed to be near a bottle of ink when using a pen (reed pens, quills, and metal dip pens). But some dared to dream of a pen with it's own ink supply - a Fountain pen.
Together we'll investigate:
• What's a fountain pen?
• Where do fountain pens come from?
• How do fountain pens work?
• How did fountain pens change all pens and the way we write today?
Welcome to Art Expedition!
Enjoy!
