Make a folded pen with us! We will provide the supplies and instruction. Several brands of ink and paper will be available to test with your new pen at our in-person event at CMU.

The materials and design of the folded pen are based on Carol DuBosch's pen from her book Folded Pen Adventures in anticipation of the online workshop we'll be hosting with her on November 2 & 16.

The folded pen makes fresh, energetic letters that break free from the formal historic letter forms. You can use the folded pen to write letters that are adapted from an Italic script, Neuland  and Ben Shahn styles.

Play Date size is limited due to hands-on instruction, tools, and materials.
