Handmade Pens
We hand make a variety of quality handmade fountain pens, handmade rollerball pens and handmade ballpoint pens, pens with wood from across the globe and also pens cast with resin and embedded objects. We make the pens right here in Cambridge UK. Each pen is made by myself and no two pens are the same.
With over 25 years experience and refined techniques.
Our pens make ideal presents for that someone who is difficult to buy for.
We have a range of pens made from recycled Whisky barrels and a range of pens made with Holyland Olive wood from Bethlehem.
A popular style of my pens are made from recycled Watch Parts, made from mechanical watch parts shaped and attached to a decorated tube then cast in crystal clear resin.
You can visit us at the All Saint's Craft Market in Cambridge every Saturday throughout the year on St Johns street, next to St Johns and Trinity colleges.

I am drawn to colourful fountain pens and this J Brooks ‘primary manipulation’ is one I have been hankering after for some time. It is on the light side and the pen and nib is well made and of good quality. The pen arrived very quickly, I would highly recommend this maker.
Photos can’t capture the beauty of this pen- it’s a little bit of magic, especially when it catches the sunshine! Feels very sturdy and comfortable in the hand. Really lovely pen!
I'm blown away by how beautiful this pen is. It's like having a giant fire opal, & pictures didn't do it justice! I'm super happy with this purchase!

I now have a few of these Gilbert Burl/ Burr wood pens - and love all of them , the texture of the woods, the feel, the weight - and they write beautifully with my italic nibs !
Fabulous quality biro, feels so good and heavy in the hand - and looks real steam punk too !
I have bought from here before, and always impressed with the high standard of workmanship. Perfect custom pen, writes beautifully. The ordering was easy, with every effort made by the maker to get me the pen that suited me exactly. Lots and lots of communication and updates on progress - and I'm really happy with the result.
