Sign up for a class at the upcoming Triangle, St. Louis, DC and SF Pen Shows.
We are now offering two different classes at this show; the Vintage Fountin Pen Therapy Class focuses on fountain pen history and The Analog Line Class focuses on illustration and fountain pen techniques.
Class sizes are limited. Secure your spot by pre-registering and paying in advance.
The fee includes a signed copy of Scott B. Jones’ latest book.
A direct, hands‑on introduction to vintage fountain pens — their filling systems, materials, flex‑nib engineering, and how to evaluate and care for them. It gives people the knowledge to navigate pens and pen shows with clarity instead of confusion.
The class fee includes a signed copy of Scott’s latest book, Vintage Fountain Pen Therapy: Art and Absurdism From the Fountain Pen of Scott B. Jones.
Materials:
Scott B. Jones will provide all materials for the session, including paper, ink, and vintage pens from the 1920s and earlier, for a hands-on demonstration. If attendees want to bring their own pens for note‑taking or have questions about your vintage pens, you are welcome to do so, but it’s completely optional. Scott B. Jones will also provide a handout and a book that covers everything you need.
Printed Syllabus:
A printed syllabus outlining the full session structure will be provided to all attendees during the class.
Pre-registration and payment are required.
A focused look at the history of 19th‑ and early‑20th‑century print illustration — press graphics, engraving, cartooning, and early comics — and how those traditions connect directly to the qualities of vintage flex pens. The session centers on preserving and understanding this lineage while giving people a clear perspective on why maintaining a creative practice still matters.
