Read on or watch the video below to understand the strengths and weaknesses of glass pens, our preferred inks and paper to pair them with, and glass pen calligraphy and drawing techniques. Glass pens are understandably more fragile than most writing instruments. If kept safe, however, a glass pen will outlive your metal pens, as they will never rust or clog. Dip your pen into the ink bottle. To avoid storing excess ink and causing blots, submerge the tip only partially. Glide the tip against the edge of the bottle opening to remove excess ink. As you write, turn the pen in your hand so you use the ink stored on all sides. Dip again as necessary. A glass dip pen writes with a line around the width of a typical broad nib. Unlike metal nibs, line width can't be controlled through varying pressure, and trying could break your pen. Lines will be thicker right after dipping and thinner when your pen needs a refill. Clean and dry your pen and gently rub it over very fine sandpaper. We recommend either grit or micromesh.

If you used India ink or an ink with metallic particulates, a toothbrush or a small paintbrush will be necessary to get into the grooves and remove residue.
