  • I don't know what a fountain pen is and want to know but don't want to ask
  • I'm interested in fountain pens but I think they'll be so expensive
  • Isn't a fountain pen just a calligraphy pen?
  • Fountain pens seem fun and different, but aren't they so messy?
  • I got a fountain pen as a gift but never use it because my Pilot G2 is so much easier
  • I'm fountain pen curious, but don't know where to start!
  • I just bought my first fountain pen and can't decide whether I like it or LOVE it.
  • I just started my fountain pen collection and don't know if I have the budget to get all the pens I want!

If any of these thoughts have popped into your head, this meet-up is for you!

Join us for a chat and demo. We'll cover fountain pen basics, demystify the craft, and help ease you into the fountain pen world. If you've recently gotten a fountain pen(s), bring them! We'll scribble together.

So informative you’ll immediately want one for yourself!

The class was extremely informative and thoroughly covered the basics of fountain pens. The instructor was very knowledgeable and welcoming to questions. I also appreciated the opportunity to try out different pens. This really helped narrow down my favorite and I could even express what I liked so much about it thanks to the information presented in class. By the end of the class, I already had picked out my first pen to purchase!
This class is a great experience and the store itself sells so many cute products. Highly recommend!

Great class!

This was the second time I took the 101 class and I continued to learn so much from Caiti! Caiti is a great source of knowledge, and is friendly and engaging.

Caiti was awesome!

The Fountain Pens 101 was fantastic, which was primarily due to Caiti and her vast knowledge of pens. I loved getting to nerd out with her, asking tons of questions, feeling comfortable with fountain pens, and getting to add pens to my collection.

Great Event!

Penny Post and their staff always go above and beyond, and this class was no exception. Class covered not just fountain pens, but everything related to them, with supplies available to test. I never felt like I was being "sold" or pressured to buy anything. As a newbie, the class covered the basics but also had plenty of information for the serious fountain pen aficionados. Would love to attend other relevant classes. Instructor Katie was welcoming, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable. A++
