The bloke behind the pen returns
Write your way with handcrafted creations
We’re delighted to welcome back Stephen Everson, better known as That Pen Bloke, to the 2025 Melbourne Pen & Stationery Show.
A master of resin, wood, and metal
Based in South Australia, Stephen has been handcrafting bespoke writing instruments for over six years, earning a loyal following in the fountain pen community. Each pen is a true work of art, crafted from his own in-house resin blanks, carefully selected timbers, and precision-machined metals. With options to customise using JoWo or Bock nibs, Stephen’s pens don’t just look beautiful, they’re designed to suit your personal writing style.
But it’s not just about pens! Stephen also creates custom Pen Hoodies – snug, stylish sleeves designed to keep your pen safe whether it’s in your bag or on your desk. If you’re dreaming of a truly one-of-a-kind pen, Stephen is happy to collaborate and bring your ideas to life. His attention to detail, craftsmanship, and love for the craft shine through in every piece. Come meet That Pen Bloke at this year’s show and see his incredible creations up close
