Their Story
The business began quite accidentally, sparked by a fountain pen given as a Christmas gift and a simple curiosity about whether they could make their own ink.
Belinda’s background in chemistry gave them a starting point, and together this husband-and-wife duo began developing a small family formula at home. What started as an experiment quickly became a passion, and then, unexpectedly, a livelihood. As interest grew, so did their commitment to refining the inks and turning Van Dieman’s into our occupation.
