We first found calligrapher Avinash Kharat on his instagram profile (avinash_calligraphy) when planning World Calligraphy Day. From there, we quickly fell in love Avinash’s amazingly creative work and his ability to use so many different styles of calligraphy combined with illustration. We asked some questions to get to know Avinash a little better and to understand what inspires his creativity.
After seeing Noelle Smith’s work on Instagram, we wanted to share some of her work with you and get to know a little more about the artist herself. We asked Noelle a few questions about her work and the inspiration behind the beautiful pieces she creates
What a busy few months have been for us. When we're not flying from Germany or America, we're in London at the Stationery Show.
It’s a dream for us to visit the show, we might be experts in calligraphy but first-and-foremost we’re stationery addicts!
But, during our down time, we grabbed some time with Sandro Bonomo, who has been at Fabriano Boutique across Italy for us in the last few weeks. We wanted to know how he finds his inspiration, where it all began and what he’s got planned for the future!
Much maligned but always loved, the ballpoint pen has been a staple of office pen pots and creatives drawing tables for generation after generation.
Chewed caps from the turning of cogs and the endless drumming of nibs on tables in back-to-back boardroom bore-fests haven’t stopped our devotion to this singular stationery wonder.
That’s why Ballpoint Pen Day seems the perfect time to celebrate our oft forgotten friend.
August 16th celebrated Manuscript's first World Calligraphy Day! The event has been a tremendous success which saw over 200 visitors arriving at the Pen Museum to take part. Taking a look at Twitter and Instagram alone, you can see over 1800 posts dedicated to the celebrations. On Twitter, #WorldCalligraphyDay even made no.6 in the top trending tweets of the day!
