I sourced these Conway Stewart samples from Vijay at Stationery Shop stationeryshop.scotland@gmail.com.

From a creative point of view, there’s nothing to get too excited about – there are sadly no hidden hues to have fun with. They all write nicely with a great flow and as a standard writing range the colours are lovely. The Tavy and Kingsland look great together. As you’ll see there’s some reaction to bleach from four of them but no real interest from the Black Bodmin. I can tick them off my list, but they won’t be going forward for any further creative investigation. As I said – great writing inks!
