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 often explore different ideas to create sculptural effects on then pens, creating limited editions & one offs. 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.
