Pen and Ink Ability is here to be your source
of knowledge to help you to improve your
abilities with writing, drawing, painting and even gilding
Welcome to Pen and Ink Ability
We have designed this website to be your bible of
information and 'how to's for using a variety of
products available in our eShop
J & T’s Art and Calligraphy.
We have many niche products that some people have never even heard of,
let alone know how to use them properly. We get asked many questions and
wanted to create a place, a mine even, of information that anybody can
come to learn and benefit from, using these great products to the best
of their ability.
We aim to answer the ‘How do I do…?’, How do you use…?’, I’m not sure
about using this product with that product?’, ‘Can I use this product
on…..?’ questions for as many products as we possibly can.
We have detailed information on how to use
dip pen nibs,
various
fountain and calligraphy pen inks (such as Pelikan 4001 Drawing Ink A or
Penman range of Inks).
Joseph Gillott, W.M.Mitchell and Brause dip pen holders available as
singles and sets.
How to fit reservoirs to nibs - to allow more writing with one dip in
the ink.
Roberson gilding mediums, mica flakes and Pearl Lustre inks.
How to use the entire range of Zest-It® products,
PH Neutral PVA glue and much much more.
Please use the links at the top and bottom to help you find the
particular section or product you are after, use the search box or have
a browse around – you never know what little useful tips you might pick
up.
Enjoy
Jacqui and Tracey Blackman
