PRESENTER: Jane Shibata


SPONSOR: South Los Angeles Chapter (Solar Nibs)

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

An often dismissed and neglected pen nib series, the B-nib can be very versatile. Not only can this nib be used to make monolinear letterforms, but it can also be manipulated in a certain way to create thick and thin strokes. Let's get to know and play with the B-nibs.
