Fountain Ink Brush Lettering Workshop
In this workshop, we explored how fountain pen inks can be used with paintbrushes to create expressive, colorful lettering. We practiced foundational strokes, pressure control, and experimented with unique ink properties like sheen, shimmer, and color variation. By the end, we created vibrant lettering pieces and gained confidence using inks in new, creative ways.

Fountain Pen Recommendations:
Pilot Kakuno- Great budget-friendly and beginner-friendly fountain pen.
Con 70 converter- If you want to fill your Pilot Kakuno with your own fountain ink, you need a converter to replace the cartridge.
TWSBI ECO Fountain Pen- This is my go-to fountain pen. I currently own 5 of them in different colors and nib sizes. They are so smooth and easy to write with- my favorites!
