White Bear Pens

Their Story

My passion for pens and stationery started early, but I didn’t get my first fountain pen until 2022 when I happened upon a planner with Tomoe River paper. When I looked up what that meant and saw the phrase “fountain pen friendly,” the next logical step was that I needed a fountain pen. I quickly discovered the quiet magic of fountain pens; the colors, the feel, the inks, the small moment of calm they offer. Eventually this passion expanded in a creative way to include making the most whimsical pens I could with sparkle, transparency, fun color combinations, and unique design elements. I try to bring joy with every pen I make, and I hope the spark of calm I encounter using fountain pens is shared with anybody who uses pens I made as well.

Our Story

Their Team

As the sole human employee of White Bear Pens, I do almost everything; design, machining, sanding, polishing, ordering supplies, packaging, shipping. That said, I do have ample support from my dogs Jolene and Summer, who help by chewing up any paper towels that fall on the ground.

Our Team

The name White Bear Pens came from the street I live on, White Bear Avenue.

When not making or using pens, I enjoy drawing, learning to play the piano, knitting, reading, walking, and watching Friends and The Office reruns.
