Pacey Writing Instruments (formerly Pacey Woodcraft) started in 2019. What began as a hobby quickly turned into a passion for creating hand-turned pens. What I discovered was that people enjoy a well-crafted pen—especially when the materials and design are tailored to their unique personality.

With the addition of laser engraving and other media to the shop, Alchemy was born, and the product offering has been expanding ever since, with new items being added all the time.

I chose my Mum’s family name for our pens. It felt like a natural fit; she was never without a pen in hand, whether she was writing letters, making lists, or solving crosswords.

Every turner develops their own techniques. I've spent countless hours refining a process that prioritizes quality over speed. By experimenting with new materials and adding meticulous steps to my craft, I ensure that every handcrafted piece is built to last. It takes more time, but the result is a superior pen that is as satisfying to use as it is to create.

Cursive is alive and well.
