Even More Indie Makers

It’s time again to feature new-to-me indie pen makers. Approximately once a year, I post an update to my permanent reference post on Indie Pen Makers. I bookmark new makers on Instagram throughout the year and share them here. This is my third update so far. These update posts are meant to let new-to-me pen makers have their time in the spotlight, and allow you to know who is “new.”

Every time I publish a new post about indie makers, I update the reference page, adding new makers, and removing any who have left the field or no longer meet the qualifications listed below. Keep in mind, I have not purchased a pen from most of these makers, so consider this an informational list, not an endorsement.

For the purposes of these posts, I’m putting the following qualifications on the phrase “Indie Maker”:

• Small company (1-4 people working on the pens)
• Only or regularly works with customers to make unique/custom pens
• Fully handmade, uses CNC lathes with hand finishing, 3D prints custom pen designs, or designs and develops custom pens to be manufactured
• Creates kitless pens
• Not sold in stores (or only sold in local brick & mortar store)
• Makes one-off or short runs

This list is not comprehensive, that’s virtually impossible. However, if you know of a maker who meets the qualifications above and is not included here or on the reference page, please let me know.

This list is alphabetical by company name – it is not ranked.
