Nib Tailor will offer in-person grinds, tuning, and repairs of fountain pen nibs to suit your handwriting. Custom work can be done to any brand of pen that you own. Carolina Pen Co. created the pen blanks that my bespoke nib tester set is made from and I am thrilled to share table space at Stationery Fest with them. Come find us!

JC is also leading the Smooth Strokes: Inner Workings of a Well-Tuned Nib workshop for those who learn best by getting their hands involved. Nib Tailor will guide participants through fountain pen nib anatomy and manipulation to establish a general understanding of what makes a nib write well. Fee includes a nib “sewing kit” to continue your own tailoring explorations at home. [WORKSHOP FILLED, NO FURTHER OPTION FOR EXPANSION. Thank you for your enthusiasm!]
