Join us at the Los Angeles International Pen Show, February 15-17, 2019. Pendemonium will have three full tables of all things writing. Fountain pens, mechanical pencils, dip pens, pen books, loads of inks and just about everything else pen loves love to find at a pen show!

On Saturday, February 16, Sam will be presenting her Think Ink seminar. The seminar is free and you will walk out knowing a lot more about ink than you did before you walking in!

We look forward to seeing you at the annual LA Pen Show.
