DC Pen Show Seminar - Deb Kinney Practical Elegance - A Short Course
Saturday Seminar
Announcing Fountain Pens: Practical Elegance….A Short Course(4 hrs) at the DC Show Location: DC Fountain Pen Supershow, August 9-10, 2003 Time: To be determined, probably Saturday August 9 Instructor: Deb Kinney Cost: $50 (Includes materials) Course Summary: Fountain Pens: Practical Elegance (Deb Kinney) Class ID# 6931 The history of the fountain pen and the history of modern writing go hand-in-glove. We'll stroll the late 1800s to the present day in our Armchair tour of this most practical, most elegant of writing instruments. Learn about the four big manufacturers who revolutionized the writing industry; consider the relative virtues of the various ink-filling systems; and get a grip on modern pen options. You'll come away knowing how to choose a fountain pen, how to use the different nibs, how to maintain pens, and how to choose the right ink and paper. Your instructor encourages you to bring in your vintage, or simply old, fountain pens for restoration advice. Deb Kinney has been accumulating fountain pens since she was a small child and has been a serious collector for 20 years. Her extensive collection includes a concentration in vintage Sheaffer and Parker and modern Italian pens. Using skills she learned as a jewelry maker, Deb began repairing and restoring vintage pens eight years ago, and recently began grinding custom nibs. Co-founder in 1999 of the Triangle Pen Club, Deb has worked at major pen shows and served three years as the pen expert for the local Sharon Luggage store in the Raleigh-Durham area.
