In this hands-on workshop, author and artist Janet Salmons invites you to get a feeling for it. She covers the basics of how to select, care for, and use a fountain pen for writing or for drawing. Janet collects fountain pens, has been using them forever, and has written with and tested all types. She speaks from extensive experience as she demonstrates how the choice of pen, nib, ink, and paper affects writing with a fountain pen. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor a truly hands-on experience, we send you a Pilot Metropolitan fountain pen plus a paper sampler pack. Janet steps you through actually setting up your starter pen (the hands-on part!), then shows you some different styles of writing to work with as you test it out. She also goes over her handout on how to care for and troubleshoot fountain pens. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThough writing by hand is a pleasure in and of itself, there's more to it than that. A keyboard is fine for quick notes or for left brain, work-a-day writing, but writing with a fountain pen seems to help release right brain activity – just what’s needed when recording thoughts, reflections, or insights. A fountain pen is also a wonderful drawing tool that works well with watercolors and other media. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJoin Janet to learn what an enriching experience putting nib to paper can be!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClass Materials\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease bring the following materials:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eA small jar or cup of water to practice filling and cleaning\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePaper towels or wipes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eOptional: a notebook for taking notes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClass Kit Includes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eHandouts with fountain pen info - selecting, care of, and troubleshooting fountain pens.
