    TPK’s new glass dip pens are a true pleasure to write with! You can use any ink color, and you’ll find that the pen skates smoothly across the page for several sentences before you have to re-dip. In today’s article, I’ll acquaint you with glass dip pens and provide you with a little tutorial video…

    Write With Glass: Introducing Venetian Glass Dip Pens

    Glass dip pens are my new obsession. Ever since I received a shipment of these beauties last week, I’ve been using them to write letters, make mail art, and jot down everyday lists! Today, I’m proud to announce their arrival in the TPK Supplies Shop. I’ve got two different designs, and I honestly can’t decide which I like more: the “Unicorn” Glass Dip Pen or the “Red Frost” Glass Dip Pen.

    What are Glass Dip Pens?

    Glass dip pens were developed in Murano, Italy, in the 18th century. Before the invention of fountain pens, they were quite popular in the US. I’m guessing that fountain pens eventually overshadowed them because you don’t have to dip a fountain pen in ink? I’ve never been one to shy away from ink bottles, though, so these pens are right up my alley!
