Washington D.C. Collectible Fountain Pen Supershow August 2008

This year's Washington D.C. Collectible Fountain Pen Supershow is said to be the largest pen event in the World. It will have a fantastic mix of manufacturers, experts, collectors, beginners and lifelong pen-lovers and is sure to be a great event.

One highlight of the 2008 Washington Collectible Fountain Pen Supershow will be the ink testing and evaluation tables. Ink is often the last thing that you think of when you are considering the purchase of a pen, yet with over two hundred and fifty different bottles to try out, it is quite clearly something that is important. With your own unique color, you will be a long way to creating writing that is unmistakably yours.

Add to this the updated calligraphy seminar, where you can learn the noble art of writing and how to improve your writing skills, and even a life long pen collector will learn something new at the Washington Collectible Fountain Pen Supershow this year.

The show is packed with manufacturers and vendors from around the globe. See vintage pens, modern pens and exquisite fountain pens made with the most expensive materials in the world, lovingly hand crafted into masterpieces. Gold, vermeil, silver, platinum, diamonds – every beautiful material is used in pen making, and there will be pens like you have never seen.

While you are there, why not show off your own collection to other collectors and pen enthusiasts? You might learn something from others, and they can learn something from you. Also, don't forget to get your pens back into a “good as new” condition with the nib experts and pen repairers who are waiting to fix things for you. You could even attend one of the seminars to learn a little more about repairing your own pens.

Which ever aspect of pen making, collecting or writing you love, the largest pen event in the world, the Washington Collectible Fountain Pen Supershow is unmissable.
