If you’re the kind of person who has fervent opinions about ballpoint pens — Pentel RSVP or GTFO — then Paper & Ink Arts is the place for you. The Donelson art supply store is a treasure trove of writing and lettering supplies, with hundreds of different kinds of pens. Gel, brush, chalk, paint, fountain! Plus, everything you could ever need to either start or continue your calligraphy hobby, including modern and vintage nibs, specialty inks and papers. Hell, they even carry actual quills, so you can write a letter with a literal goose feather like the goddamn Founding Fathers. Don’t have the patience to learn a new skill but still feel creative? There’s also a large selection of paints and brushes, rubber stamps and bookbinding materials, as well as art kits for both kids and adults.Â
