While fountain pens get lots of attention, they're finicky: use the wrong ink (or let it sit too long) and you've got a restoration project on your hands. 

Dip pens, on the other hand, lend themselves perfectly to creative reuse: nibs are inexpensive, interchangeable, and easy to clean. You can get started with a single nib holder. You don't even need to buy any ink: watered-down acrylic paint, laundry bluing, and even food coloring can be used to produce lovely results on the right paper... but wait: what's the right paper?

Figuring that out is the fun part! And besides: handwriting is good for our brains.

And so: this 2 hour session - a social, mostly self-directed process - will give participants time and opportunity to experiment with a range of nib holders, writing nibs (both preloved and new old stock), writing fluids, and vintage papers while assessing which holders, nibs, and papers work well together (lefties, we've got nibs for you, too!). 

Included in the price of the ticket: one nib holder, three writing nibs, 2 ounces of paper (all user's choice), and a 5ml glass vial of ink handmade from locally foraged black walnuts. Additional nibs, papers, etc. may be purchased during the class, directly from Evergreen, or on shopjunket.com. 

100% of the materials & supplies have been strategically sourced from post-consumer sources (no new manufacturing emissions were generated for this class offering). #ClimateCompetentCreativity #ReuseIsResistance #SmallChoicesBigImpact

    This is climate-competent commerce, and we talk a bit more about each of these strategies on our 'official' shipping policy page:

    The Fine Print 

  • Proactive Satisfaction + Refunds

    We have adopted a 'generally generous' approach to fulfilling many of our product listings, as sending a wee bit extra can avoid costly errors & 'fix it' shipments (besides, we find most folks appreciate the occasional freebie).

    .

    That said, if you would prefer to avoid the extras, we will gladly rightsize or downsize your order on request (product price would remain the same because more labor + less product = wash). If you prefer this option, please include a detailed order note to specify the quantity you wish to recieve (i.e. 'please send precise count of 7 for XYZ product').

    .

    As a rule, we discourage returns - but we also don't abide crappy customer experiences. To initiate issue resolution in the event that we miss the boat with your order (gaps happen!), head to our refund policy page (linked here - and at the bottom of any page) to get started.
