The Pen Show that Wasn't - Virtual Maker Fair 2020

Although we had to cancel the St. Louis Pen Show, we're not sitting still. We partnered with KWZ Ink and several of our Independent Pen Makers keep the spirit of our lost pen shows alive and flood the world with amazing pens and ink.
We worked with KWZ Ink to produce a rich, vibrant purple ink (officially named "Meet Me in St. Louis 2020" but code-named "Stay Home Purple"). Seven of the show's independent pen makers are offering pens to match the ink, and are selling them as sets. Buy a beautiful, hand-made pen, and receive a bottle of KWZ Meet Me in St. Louis 2020 ink with it!
This video is the recording of the "Meet the Makers" kickoff event from 1 July, 2020. So watch the video to meet some of our makers, hear about the stories behind the pens and the event, and check out some gorgeous hand-made ink and pens!
