Seeking Groups In Neohio

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone. Forgive me if this is already posted somewhere else, or is searchable somewhere. I can't find info on groups by location.

 

Are there groups in NEO? Specifically, Akron or Cleveland areas?

 

I am looking for a place to meet people who can show us how to care for pens, and who want to show off their collections. I need more than YouTube, and we missed the Ohio Pen Show.

 

TIA for any help.

~Deanna~

Metro-CLE. East side. I'm in. This is a fairly populated area - we should be able to find some folks for a Pen Posse of sorts.

 

(I hope.)

 

Cheers.

My ink-swap post(s) become out of date eventually. My signature is always current. If you want to swap some ink, here's what I have: Diamine: Ancient Copper, Oxblood, Poppy Red, Red Dragon, Sherwood Green; Iroshizuku: Kon-peki, Ku-jaku, Take-sumi; Noodlers: 54th Mass, BSB, Purple Martin, X-Feather, Widow Maker; Private Reserve: Blue Suede. I'm partial to highly saturated inks, but am open to suggestions. PM if interested.

Sounds like fun! I'm right between Cleveland and Akron. I spent an afternoon at the recent Columbus Pen Show, it was overwhelming! It would be nice to meet some other collectors and share our treasures. I've been collecting for less than a year, and usually check this site every day.

Awesome.

 

No fountain pen groups on meetup in the area. Might need to change that soon.

 

@deannasjoy, thanks for starting this thread! I'd be happy to help out setting up stuff as time allows, but have never undertaken such a project. What suggestions do others have for how to start a fountain pen club?

 

Cheers.

I am a co-organizer of the Triangle Pen Club in NC but am originally from the Cleveland area. I'll be in town for a couple of weeks for Christmas and would be happy to meet with anyone interested in forming a club. We currently have around 80 members and typically 20 or so attend our monthly meetings. While my knowledge is far from exhaustive, I could give you some advice on what worked for us and how we function as a group. Let me know. My schedule will be hectic but I'm sure I can find time.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
