About

Parrish Penworks is an independent, one-person pen shop creating handmade artisan fountain pens in Coastal North Carolina. I personally design, turn, shape, polish, and finish every pen, one at a time, in my small workshop. There is no production line and no mass production—just me, my tools, and a genuine appreciation for the craft of making a great fountain pen.

Each pen begins with carefully selected, small-batch materials sourced from fellow artisan makers. These unique materials, combined with my own designs and hands-on craftsmanship, ensure that every Parrish Penworks fountain pen is truly one of a kind. No two pens will ever be exactly the same.

My goal is to create more than just a beautiful pen. I want each one to be a writing instrument that feels special in your hand, whether it becomes part of your collection or your favorite daily writer. Every pen is made with the intention that it will be enjoyed for years—and hopefully become something worth passing down.

Most importantly, I hope you enjoy owning and writing with each pen as much as I enjoyed bringing it to life.

Because every Parrish Penworks fountain pen is handmade in small quantities, available models, colors, materials, and finishes naturally change over time. When a particular pen is gone, another unique design is already in the works.

If you don't see exactly what you're looking for, check back often, follow Parrish Penworks on social media to see what I'm currently creating, or contact me about a custom fountain pen. I'd be happy to discuss creating something specifically for you.
