Good to Know

This class is for anyone who's never picked up a pen. We teach the basics, and our hope is you leave with ink flowing through your nib and the confidence to keep practicing. Tried it before? It's a great refresher with new supplies from our beginner kit.

Left-handed? You're very welcome. This class is designed with lefties in mind — we teach you to get ink flowing through your nib with confidence, whatever hand you use.

All students under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a ticketed adult to our classes.

The Vintage Nib

San Diego, CA

Simone started The Vintage Nib after practicing calligraphy every single day for almost a year, so she could write her own wedding invitations. Writing strictly in cursive since the age of 6, she was intrigued by the oblique pen and all the intricate calligraphy styles done by pen masters from all over the world. What started as a DIY wedding project became her passion, and now she won't go one day without writing something with a pointed pen.
