Artistry Imagined

Bespoke – handcrafted writing instruments

I design and lovingly craft each unique pen/pencil.

I love bringing materials to life in a new form. Recycling unusual objects that hold a significance for their owners and turning them into usable and tactile writing instruments is a passion.

Artistry Imagined is a shop designed for creative expression. I value my customer’s feedback and requests to assemble something different.
