SA Pen Show Workshop – Sip and Paint

The SA Pen Show Workshop – Sip and Paint is the perfect way to bring your time at the Second SA Pen Show to a relaxed and creative close. Designed to combine the joy of art with the beauty of fountain pens and inks, this guided session invites you to slow down, unwind, and discover new ways to enjoy your writing tools. Led by artist Lisa Ternent and running from 3:30 – 5:00, the workshop introduces participants to painting with fountain pen inks in a fun and accessible way, opening up possibilities for both expressive artwork and creative journaling. Whether you are an experienced artist or someone who has never picked up a paintbrush before, this session is welcoming to all levels and focuses on enjoyment rather than perfection.

The experience is about embracing the playful side of inks and pens, showing how they can be used beyond writing to create colourful and vibrant artwork. With Lisa’s guidance, you will explore techniques that highlight the fluidity and versatility of fountain pen inks, giving you the confidence to experiment on your own after the workshop. The atmosphere is informal and engaging, encouraging you to relax into the process while enjoying the company of fellow pen enthusiasts.

Adding to the experience is the social element that makes this session truly special. As you create, you will be able to sip on a refreshing drink and enjoy light snacks provided as part of the workshop. This thoughtful detail turns the event into more than just a class—it becomes a shared moment of creativity and connection, celebrating the end of a successful pen show in a memorable and enjoyable way.

The Sip and Paint workshop is an ideal choice for those who want to take home not just new knowledge but also a unique piece of personal artwork created with the same inks and tools that make fountain pen culture so distinctive. It is about ending your show experience with inspiration, laughter, and a sense of creative accomplishment. Spaces are limited, and the intimate setting ensures plenty of guidance and interaction. By joining this session, you will leave the SA Pen Show not only with new pens, inks, or accessories but also with a deeper appreciation of how versatile these tools can be. Close out your pen show experience in style, combining creativity, relaxation, and community in this one-of-a-kind Sip and Paint workshop.
