UPCOMING PEN SHOWS & events

please scroll down to make an appointment

san francisco international pen show august 27-30, 2026

THANK YOU! All appointments have been filled :)

🌟 If you did not get an appointment: stop by at the show, I’m happy to fit you in if I have any availability. I will also be glad to take your pen back to the workshop with me to be shipped to you later.

Appointments will be available starting Friday, August 21st at 12 noon Pacific. Please be aware that they tend to go quickly, so I recommend trying as close to noon as possible.

There will be some appointments only available to those with All Access and Early Access passes. Please be sure of your ticket type before scheduling.

We’re going to try something new: 20 minute appointments. This means more appointments, so more people will get a chance to have their pens worked on!

There will be some pre-ground Journaler nibs (Jowo #6) available for purchase at the show (no appointment necessary).
