At Speedball, we're always pushing the boundaries of what's possible in calligraphy and art. Our new Modern Calligraphy Kit reflects that dedication to innovation and quality craftsmanship. With a 21-piece set thoughtfully curated for both beginners and seasoned artists, we wanted to provide everything needed to inspire creativity—from metallic inks and versatile nibs to a beautifully designed dual-purpose penholder. This kit is more than just tools; it’s a testament to our commitment to evolving the art form and empowering artists everywhere. 🎨✍️ #speedballart #calligraphy

This pen had a square-tipped pen could make broad and thin lines. George took the patent to the C. Howard Hunt Pen Company in 1915. Till this day, each nib is split, ground and assembled by hand in Statesville, North Carolina.

We’re thrilled to have teamed up with Outlaw Printmaker and member of Speedball PAN (Professional Artist Network), Sean Star Wars, to bring his dynamic in-person printmaking workshops to life! 🌟 With sold-out events in both Edinburgh and Glasgow, and an enthusiastic reception in Amsterdam, these workshops have not only highlighted Sean's incredible talent but also provided a fantastic platform for creative engagement. 🙌 Big thanks to Cass Art for hosting these exciting events and helping bring art closer to the community! 🖌️📸 #speedballart #printmaking

At Speedball, we're more than just colleagues—we're a family. Today, we want to shine a special light on two incredible members of our family, Deward Huie and Jean Lundy, who will be retiring at the end of this year. Deward and Jean have been with us for many years, bringing not only their hard work and dedication but also their love and care. Their famous 15 gallons of homemade chili has become a symbol of the warmth and community that makes Speedball such a special place. 🍲 #speedballart

It’s where art and craftsmanship meet. What’s your favorite part of the creative process? #speedballart #printmaking #screenprinting

Screen printing is more than a process—it's a canvas for creativity. 🎨 Every pull of the squeegee turns ideas into art, offering endless ways to experiment with colors and patterns. Whether working with fabric, paper, or something new, screen printing is about pushing creative boundaries. 🌟 Artwork by Arsenal Handicraft #speedballart #printmaking
