The Charter Oak Pen Club Meets The Institute Library

None of us can have as many virtues as the fountain-pen, or half its cussedness; but we can try.”  — Mark Twain.

Join us on Saturday March 29th, from 1 to 3 pm, for a gathering of New England fountain pen lovers. Jonathan Weinberg, artist and curator of the Maurice Sendak Foundation, will lead a discussion and demonstration of the wonders of fountain pens for writing and drawing. Some of his fellow members of the Charter Oak Pen Club will talk about collecting vintage pens and the differences between old and new pens. If you share the fountain pen addiction, you are welcome to bring some of your own favorites. For those new to the world of pen collecting, there will be plenty of advice on how to get started and the opportunity to try out new and old pens. Everyone is welcome!
