Hi, gang! Are you planning to attend the St. Louis Pen Show? It’s only a few weeks away! We are getting everything ready for our table (re-order! re-order! re-order!) and trying to get our sh*t together. I’f you’ll be attending, please come by our table and say hi! Bob will even be there helping out so if you think my husband is a figment of my imagination, ccome by and see him IRL.
Have you signed up for any of the workshops or classes yet? I am teaching four unique workshops (including a NEW workshop!) at the show including some of my most popular options like Gamify Your Life and Sigils: Make Magic with Pens & Ink and Carve Your Own Rubber Stamps. I’m super excited to offer all these workshops. It’s some of the most fun I have at pen shows now.
For the Make Your Own Junk Journal class, each student will get materials to make their own Field Notes sized journal and the option to learn simple, traditional bookbinding techniques. You will leave class with a notebook and even have some time to start “junking it up”.
Attendees in the Carve Your Own Rubber Stamps will learn how to use simple materials to carve their own stamps AND leave with a kit including a carving tool to make more stamps after class. Students also love to bring a notebook for swapping stamps with other students in the class which is also one of my favorite ways to make new friends!
If you think you want to attend one of my workshops, or those hosted by anyone else, it helps HUGELY to know a few weeks in advance. It helps teachers know how many kits, packets, and other supplies will be needed and provides the funds to purchase them.
Finally, if you are new to fountain pens AND left-handed (or lefty-curious), you might want to consider attending my free seminar “Fountain Pens for Lefties” on Saturday, June 27 at 3pm.
Thanks! I can’t wait to see everyone in St. Louis. If you have any questions about these workshops or seminar, please drop me a note in the comments.
