Put down your electric device, find a turkey feather, and follow the guide to making your own feather quill in Writing & illuminating & lettering as you celebrate National Handwriting Day!
The annual event is sponsored by the Writing Instrument Manufacturers Association. So, on second thought, maybe making your own quill isn’t the best way to celebrate…
How about some lovely pen nibs?
