Tom's Studio Flourish Carrot Calligraphy Pen, Midnight

Introducing, the new Flourish – Carrot designed for those who like a compact pen holder and a lovely curved body for improved grip and stability. It takes all the best features from the Flourish Curve and sprinkles in some new elements: Firstly, the weight, it will surprise you, once you put pen to paper you'll notice how the weight increases stability and your nib, in turn, will glide across the page.

This reassuring weight paired with the body shape of the carrot will mean you barely have to hold the pen when you write (it will do a lot of the work for you) helping you to avoid the dreaded 'calligrapher claw' and improve your technique in the long run.

The oblique pen is also fitted with my unique universal flange design which holds almost every kind of nib (big and small) and allows you to adjust the angle of the nib, further increasing the 'glide factor' of your writing.

Caring for your Pen

With a bit of TLC your pen should last a very, very long time. Over time the metal will age naturally, developing a richer, darker tone. You can choose to embrace this patina or to return it to its gleaming best by using a polishing cloth with a splash of water and dish soap or a gentle, polishing compound. Newly polished metal can be waxed with Renaissance Wax to protect the surface and avoid further tarnish. To clean marble, resin or wooden pens just a splash mild dish soap on a cloth will remove any dirt. You can then protect it further using renaissance wax.
