Popular with artists and calligraphers, standard metal nibs will fit into most of my glass pens. This means nibs can be rapidly changed for different styles, plus the glass is easy to clean and has a nice weight (pens vary between 18-35grams.) Unlike fountain pens they can even be used for media that would normally clog them, I’ve even got a potter who uses one for applying glazes. I also make pens with traditional Venitian style glass nibs.
Most of my pens have pure silver ‘fumed’ onto the surface, the silver directly colours the glass to produce wonderful random paterns and lustres. I also often create limited editions & one offs by adding sculptural elements or using limited availability colours. For current available glass please check out my store at www.etsy.com/shop/steampunkglass or to see more on my Instagram feed and Facebook page too.

This glass dip pen is stunning; even more beautiful than the it appears
in the photo, if that’s possible. It is the standout in my pen
collection. Much gratitude to this talented artist. I will delight in
many hours of enjoyment, using this gorgeous, lovingly-made writing and
swatching tool.
