Brass is one of those materials that just gets better with age – like a good book, or a well-used armchair. It warms to your touch, tells a story with every scuff, and carries the kind of quiet confidence only old souls (and finely tuned pens) can pull off.
The Brass Wren takes all the things people love about the original – refillable, balanced, built to last – and gives it the kind of weight that says: “yep, I mean business." At 53g, it’s more than double the weight of the standard Wren (20g). It’s fitted with a precision Japanese-made tip, engineered to glide across the page, and machined right here in the UK by people who usually make things like luxury watches and aerospace bits. In short: no corner-cutting here.
It’s got that unmistakable feel of a pen that’s going to be with you for the long haul – through ideas, to-dos, doodles, drafts and deep thoughts in cafés. Perfect for modern thinkers with a soft spot for the analogue – the kind who annotate in margins and name their favourite pens.
“Brilliant shop! Wonderful, prompt and attentive service and an excellent array of products (particularly given the size of the space). I usually order online and collect in store (another excellent service) to save the risk of parking my bike outside but always enjoy a wander when I’m in town. Highly recommended!”

“I ordered 3 pads of watercolour paper and when it arrived I was amazed at the way it was packed. Bubble wrap, cardboard wrap then brown paper. As a result the paper arrived in perfect condition. Well done.”
– Graham
“So nice to have a shop not in a mall or a big impersonal space with knowledgeable helpful staff-full of all the art/craft supplies one could possibly want.”
– Halima
“I’ve only found this wonderful shop recently. I have been coming into this shop regularly since as I’m doing a few craft projects at the moment. The staff are absolutely lovely and have helped me anytime I needed assistance — even with recommendations!”
– Chantelle
“The staff were very helpful and patient and helped me get everything I needed to start traditional inking/inkwash art, which is not that common (but they had the supplies regardless). Coming from a digital background, I had very little idea about what I needed but they were very patient and kind in helping me pick out each piece of equipment.”
