The star of this workshop is the glass pen, a versatile and easy-to-use writing instrument whose roots date back to the 17th century. We will be using brand-new pens which were designed to replicate the construction of early glass pens.

Participants will go home with their decorated letter, a glass pen of their choice, and a small bottle of ink. Join us for this enjoyable exploration of historical techniques and methods with a modern twist!
