Approximately once a year, I post an update to my permanent reference post on <a href=\"\/blog\/indie-pen-makers\/\">Indie Pen Makers<\/a>. 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 &#8220;new.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>For the purposes of these posts, I&#8217;m putting the following qualifications on the phrase &#8220;Indie Maker&#8221;: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Small company (1-4 people working on the pens)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Only or regularly works with customers to make unique\/custom pens<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fully handmade, uses CNC lathes with hand finishing, 3D prints custom pen designs, or designs and develops custom pens to be manufactured<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Creates kitless pens<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Not sold in stores (or only sold in local brick &amp; mortar store)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Makes one-off or short runs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This list is not comprehensive, that&#8217;s virtually impossible. However, if you know of a maker who meets the qualifications above and is not included here or on the <a href=\"\/blog\/indie-pen-makers\/\">reference page<\/a>, please let me know. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This list is alphabetical by company name \u2013 it is not ranked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Company<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><strong>Instagram<\/strong><\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><strong>Location<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/fourthkindpens\">Fourth Kind Pens<\/a><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/fourthkindpens\/\">fourthkindpens<\/a><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">USA<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Glenn Stanley Fountain Pens<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/glennstanleyfountainpens\/\">glennstanleyfountainpens<\/a><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Horatiu Gutovschi<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/gutovschi_horatiu\/\">gutovschi_horatiu<\/a><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/shopier.com\/Marangozdoktor\">MR.DR.PEN<\/a><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/mr.dr.pen\/\">mr.dr.pen<\/a><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/PendragonPensStudio\">Pendragon Pens<\/a><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pendragonpens\/\">pendragonpens<\/a><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">USA<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/scribepens\/\">Scribe Pens<\/a><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/scribe_pens\/\">scribe_pens<\/a><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">UK<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peripherywood.ca\/tangentpens\">Tangent Pens<\/a><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tangentpens\/\">tangentpens<\/a><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Canada<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/whitebearpens.com\/\">White Bear Pens<\/a><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/whitebearpens\/\">whitebearpens<\/a><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">USA<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.logstotreasures.com\/zodiac-pens\">Zodiac Pen Company<\/a><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/zodiacpencompany\/\">zodiacpencompany<\/a><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">USA<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks for reading this far, I hope you enjoyed my post.
