Original Flourish - Straight Calligraphy Pen
Simple, elegant and a perfect starter pen
A little Ninja of a calligraphy tool... So many pens are made from cheap materials that look good but don't stand the test of time. I wanted to make a pen that did both. The Original Flourish straight pen is machined from Solid Aluminium using lathes conventionally used to make watch parts (the long-lasting bit, no plastic here). They have a silky matte black finish which sings quality and craft – it not only looks beautiful but is designed to be the best tool for the job. Each pen is also fitted with a stainless steel ferrule (not a speck of rust in sight!).
It's my hope that you'll be passing your pen down the generations, and that your grandchildren will get the same pleasure from using their Tom's Studio pen as you do.
Brilliant ink for bold ideas!
This is a lovely, nicely weighted pen, which I bought for my daughter to draw with, as a graduation present. I got it engraved, and that came out beautifully, and I gave it to her together with some nibs and an antique cut-glass inkwell. She was delighted!
Shout out to Tom’s Studio customer service as well. I needed some guidance on another product and the team was engaging and helpful.
The straight calligraphy pen is very balanced and comfortable to hold. Nibs are easily changed.
I love this pen, very comfortable, perfect for my hand!!!!
The name say's it all, use this pen and you write with a flourish
I bought this pen to replace a cheaper mapping pen I had been using for art work. Nice hold and smooth writing nib.
I recently purchased three items from Tom’s Studio and overall, I’m very happy with the company and their products. The pen itself feels wonderful to use, but unfortunately the nib holder arrived bent and damaged, making it impossible to insert the nib properly. I had to remove the holder and am now looking for a replacement online.
That said, the other items in my order were excellent, and I really appreciated the thoughtful little treat included in the box—it was a lovely touch. I do wish the items had been checked more carefully before shipping, but aside from that, I truly like this brand and look forward to using more of their products in the future.
I bought this pen to add to my collection. I have the wren, several lumos pens, the pocket fountain pen and a calligraphy pen. I love them all to varying degrees. My absolute favourite being the lumos. BUT I don’t like the one dip pen. It is a clever idea. BUT I am a left handed writer. The nib is very difficult to write with. It is scratchy and drags on the page. The ink doesn’t flow evenly despite trying to maintain an even pressure. It has been a complete waste of money. The downside to buying online is that you can’t try before you buy. That hasn’t been an issue with any other pen from Tom’s studio .. all of which I would highly recommend except for this one.
Will someone show me an engraved pen so I can decide if I’ll engrave or not?? This is the only way I can find to get that done.
Wonderfully simple with some heft…
I'm just starting my calligraphy journey and having already purchased and loved the Wren, I knew this was the perfect place to get exactly what I needed. The weight is just right, the pen is so comfortable to write with and nib change over is quick and easy for experimenting with different pressures and strokes as I practice.
