Our quill nibs are remarkable drawing tools. They skate over paper effortlessly, and you can leave behind a wide variety of strokes. You can use any type of ink or paint, even enamel and lacquer. Our quill nibs are ideal with thick colorful inks and paint. We don't recommend drawing or writing with lacquer or enamel because they can dry out quickly and crust up on the nibs, but if you flush your nibs frequently, no problem. This means you can use practically any media that flows and shape the tip to shape the line you draw

Note: This page is one of two pages describing how to use our quill nibs. This page introduces quill nibs and describes how to use them while shaping quill nibs describes how you can cut the nibs to get different effects when you draw with the nibs.

Quill nibs are clear, but they aren't plastic. They're 100% cellulose acetate, so 100% recyclable.

We provide quill nibs with all of our pens.

If you want to use the medium or small quill nibs, you can use our quill nib adapters. If you purchase medium or small quill nibs, we will include adapters on your order so they work in your pens.
