Richard Binder and Ron Zorn two of the best. . . .

Richard Binder has become one of the most respected and sought after nib guru's in pendom. Over the years he has managed to put smiles on the faces of many, many collectors, by simply finding out what they wanted in a writing instrument and then giving it to them.

Richard will once again be at our show set up to examine, smooth, adjust and suggest the perfect nib for each individual customer. He has a selection of samples and he also takes the time to watch how you hold your pen, at what angle, the amount of pressure you exert and whatever other secrets he has and presto, you have the perfect nib.

Hands-On Nib Smoothing Workshop

For the first time ever, Richard Binder will offer a hands-on workshop on nib smoothing, working directly with participants. In this 75-minute workshop, Richard will teach you how to smooth nibs with the tools and methods he uses daily at the Nashua Pen Spa. (We cannot guarantee that you will be an accomplished nibmeister at the end of the session, but you will have learned a lot and, we hope, had a good time.)

Richard's workshop will begin at 11:30 a.m. on Sunday, October 11. Participants must register in advance. Your prepaid $20.00 materials fee will cover the cost of the smoothing kit and buff sticks you will use. (The smoothing kit includes two practice pens.) After the session, you will keep your materials so that you can continue honing your skills at home. Don't miss out. Register NOW at RichardsPens.com!

Participation is limited to 12 people, but if you can't register you're still welcome to come and audit the session.
