This thread is a list of pen makers who will take commissions to make pens.

 

Please can you add a post to this thread if you are willing to take commissions from people who want a pen made, and include the information listed below:

1. General Location (eg USA) - this is useful for people to narrow down their sourcing.
   
2. Type of work - Kit, modified kit or totally custom. It is assumed, unless otherwise specified, that you do not make your own nibs or feeds.
   
3. Range of writing instruments (Fountain Pen, Roller Ball, Ball Point or Pencil).
   
4. Range of materials worked (Eg wood, acrylic, celluloid, bone, gold...)
   
5. Gallery address/Home page (if you have one)
   
6. For Fountain Pens, can you specify the types of filler you do (eg c/c, piston, vac or button)
   

 

To commission a pen, please contact the makers by PM through the little envelope icon under their name in their post.
