The pearl from Birmingham - Plume Gauloise

A feather with character and history has returned to our collection - Plume Gauloise No. 750 EF from the A. Sommerville & Co. factory (Birmingham, England). The recognizable rooster on the box is a sign of quality that has stood the test of time.

This feather is a real find for those who are looking for a balance between subtlety and flexibility. It creates a delicate, almost hair-like line (EF), but it also has a pleasant malleability that doesn't require excessive effort from the artist.

 Whether you're a beginner or an experienced calligrapher, this font is easy to work with.

Since 2016, a lot of work has been done. Now the channel is structured and you can see the holders made by year. Also I will expand the content in the nibs section. Short videos will give you an idea of how this or that pen writes and make the right choice.   

 I will be grateful if you find time to see my works. Don't forget to like if you liked it. This will help me not to stop at what I have done!

Thank you.

In most cases, the holder immediately falls into your hand and you start writing them correctly right away. Nevertheless, questions arise - am I holding it correctly?
So, we take the holder and place it on the middle finger.
2. Fix it with your thumb.

3. Fix it with your index finger

Next, the most interesting thing.
The oblique holder is made so that the pen opens symmetrically. Therefore, it is necessary to hold the holder in such a way that the antennae open with the same pressure.

If you hold the holder in such a way that the pen presses harder with either the left or right tendril, then you need to return the pen to the middle-central position.
How to do it correctly.

Do not try to bend the hand left and right from the usual position. Leave your hand in a comfortable position, as it is convenient for you to write. Put the holder in your hand and, without moving your hand, slightly shift the holder relative to its axis. This way you will get the correct position of the pen. Often, half a degree of rotation is enough and the pen will stand up as it should.
You can watch a video of how they write with my holders on my Instagram(banned in the Russian Federation) @popelpen.
Write beautifully and with pleasure.
If you still have questions, write to me. I will try to answer you.
