Dutch Pen Show | Utrecht | 6 + 7 June 2026

Meet my business partner and husband Alvaro-Luca Ellwart, Frank Pressentin of Elbwood and myself at this year’s Dutch Pen Show in Utrecht so see our Alchemy of Writing collaboration.

When artists collaborate to combine their talents, something extraordinary happens: Their individual skills become fused in an object much larger than the sum of its parts. In this project with Atelier NONNE 11 and ELBWOOD, writing instruments are elevated to precious artifacts: ELBWOOD’s striking minimalist designs and unique styles form the basis of our ALCHEMY OF WRITING project. These artisan pens are either paired with Alvaro’s expressive sand-cast textures, often with cast-in-place precious gemstones, or with my evocative, blended colours in enamelled segments.

This beautiful enamel and silver pen is the result of Frank’s minimalist design and my multi-layered enamelling. Photo credits: Elbwood.

Each pen comes in its own unique, hand-crafted packaging, the lid covered with an original watercolour by me.
