Handmade Pens and Gifts
Arketa pens and giftware was borne out of a well established cabinet making business.
We have taken the skills and experience of making high end furniture and fittings and applied them to the fascinating world of pens.
All our products are handmade in our own workshops to exacting standards, each pen is unique.
Our range of pens covers the spectrum, from the traditional through the colourful and exciting to the outright bonkers!
Pens have to do one thing…write, but they are not just utilitarian objects, they do more than that. They express character, style, status and mood.
Our pens do exactly that, the materials we use tell a story and are selected for their unique and special nature.
To illustrate this, and the unique relationship we have with pens have a look at our page of quotes about pens and writing here.
Every pen tells a story as long as you write with it!
Why Arketa ?
Arketa is the Greek word for pretty, and my family has Greek connections and influences.
Pen turning may not be rocket science, but it is certainly revolutionary.
