Why handwrite in the age of smartphones and computers? A short and casual workshop to learn some reasons why and what your revived writing skills can be used for. For those who are “fountain pen curious” but have never used one – or did, but it was a very long time ago, get a chance to try out various types of fountain pens, inks and papers. If you are a fountain pen user trying to convert your friends, bring them along!
