Saturday 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm - Vintage Pens for the Modern User, Hosted by The Pen Collectors of America, Kent Room, FREE The world of vintage pens offers an incredible opportunity to add fascinating, beautiful, and functional pens to your collection for relatively low costs. But where to start? What should you look for? Is it all about flex? What if the nibs are scratchy? Is it hard to clean and polish the pens? Can they be fixed, and if so, what about parts? Where can I learn more if I am curious?
Saturday 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm - Vintage Pen "Tasting", Hosted by The Pen Collectors of America, Kent Room, FREE Vintage Pen Tasting follows the Vintage Pens for the Modern User as a way to gain some hands-on experience with vintage pens like those discussed in the panel. Come and try a variety of vintage pens! We will supply the pens, ink, and paper, and we will be there to guide you and answer all questions. Beginner questions are welcomed and encouraged.
Sunday 10:00 am - 11:00am Pens for Kids, Hosted by The Pen Collectors of America, Kent Room, FREE Pens For Kids is a workshop that interactively teaches the origins of writing, and where pens fall within that history. Among other activities, participants will learn to write a thank you note. All supplies are provided and each child will leave with a pen!
Sunday 10:30am - 12 pm Pop Up Cards Workshop, $30, Windsor Room, class limit 20 "Everytime I open a pop-up book/card, I feel like a child again with great sense of wonder..." Do you share that same feeling? Ever curious about how those pop-up structures are made? Join this workshop with artisan Link Tong to learn about basic pop-up techniques. You will have chance to make your own 3 -4 pop up cards to decorate your home or to give to your loved one. Come to learn, have fun, and bring out your inner child :) Link Tong is a certified florist, paper artist, and founder of Roses Without Thorns - Toronto based craft business that specializes in pop up cards since 2014. Their unique cards (a.k.a works of art) have been adored at pen shows across North America and featured on Pen World Magazine.
