Studio Glass - Experimental Dip Pen
Heritage meets experimental design
Meet my experimental hand-crafted glass dip pens – a true innovator in the world of writing! Made by our master glass artist in Somerset, these pens are completely unique, with clear glass designs that offer a sleek, minimalist look. Perfect for those who like to experiment with their writing style.
A spot of context: I love a glass dip pen, the subtle 'bite' the nib has on the page, the ability to use any kind of ink and still be easy to clean and of course the wondrous beauty of glass. It's one of those designs that has stayed the same for hundreds of years, and rightly so. However, as a designer, I couldn't resist the challenge of making it more relevant to a modern audience...
These pens is designed for the adventurous writer or illustrator, offering a choice between two specialty nibs: the Italic nib for classic, broad strokes and the Oblique nib for amazing line variance. Whether you're crafting bold lettering or geometric patterns, this pen opens up a world of creative possibilities.
Just like its dual-ended cousin, the magic is in the nib's spiral grooves, which hold plenty of ink and release it as you write. Best paired with fountain pen ink for smooth writing. It also works with calligraphy ink, but make sure it’s on the thinner side for best results. Ready to push the boundaries of your creativity? This clear glass pen is here to help you make your mark.
As stated in the title, these nibs are experimental, and we would love your feedback on further experiments or improvements.
