**Shipping times are still taking longer than expected to certain areas**
Do to unforeseen changes from Covid-19, international shipping times can not be guaranteed. We are seeing shipping times and customs holds in certain countries take months and not the days or weeks we are accustomed to. Tracking of packages internationally is also painfully slow to update online. We recommend upgrading to Priority Mail for shipping and tracking if available.

5 out of 5 starsLove everything Brett creates. He does custom orders too! I asked for some fancy pokey tools to use in my papercrafting and he created the most beautiful things I ever seen. Also asked for a special pen for my son who fly fishes and he put together a spectacular gift that my son will love. Thanks to Brett and Susan for the craftsmanship and the wonderful customer service.

5 out of 5 starsThe fountain pen finish is nicer than I expected. The optic white acrylic has a subtle sparkle which enhances the beauty of the fountain pen. I also like the multicolor grip which peeks out when pen is closed and is quite evident when pen is open for writing. The colors look like a hidden treasure inside the predominantly white finish of the pen which I find very appealing. I chose the matte red medium nib which is a very nice look with the colors of the grip. Overall I am happy with my purchase.

5 out of 5 starsI ordered a Watts model in PM1 and it is absolutely gorgeous! Plus, the pen writes smoothly and has no issues! Dealing with Walltown was a pleasure and customer service is great! I will be keeping my eye on this shop for sure!

5 out of 5 starsThe pictures don't do justice the material or the pen itself. It's way more better looking in person. The quality of work and how fast it arrived are big plus. Even though the package ended up in customs random inspection, but due seller responded quickly to my question it was sorted in less than day and it didn't impact on expected delivery time window. Highly recommended.

About WalltownPens
The journey of the creation of Walltown Craftworks began after my husband took a pen turning class. He came home excited to show me what he made and to share all of the tips and tricks he learned in class. We were both hooked.
Within a few days, we purchased a lathe, gouges, pen kits, and blanks. We had a lot of fun experimenting with assorted combinations of wood and acrylic pen blanks with different styles of pen kits and creating segmented blanks using unusual materials like the metal from soda cans. Then we started asking ourselves, “What else could we try?” That’s when we started turning bottle stoppers, bowls, platters, clocks, trinket boxes, and honey dippers. (Can’t wait to see what we will come up with next.)
As we started sharing our creations with friends and family, they kept saying, “These are extraordinary.” “You have amazing talent.” “Who knew you were so creative?” “When are you going to start selling them?” That’s where the idea for starting our business was born. After selling several items and receiving such positive responses on a Pen & Wood Turners’ blogs, we decided to take the leap.
What should we name our business? Weeks passed, as we tossed around different ideas, but none of them felt right. One weekend we stopped by the local farmers’ market and craft bazaar. On our way home, we saw signs for places in the surrounding area (Bull City, Brightleaf, Old West Durham, etc.). The signs sparked an idea. We should incorporate the name of our community into the name of our business.
The section of town we live in is known as Walltown. It is a historic community with rich ties to Durham and Duke University. Walltown has a lot of meaning to us. Our house is a just few blocks from the former site of Watts Hospital, where we were both born. Shortly after we were married, we moved into our home. We often say, “We came back to our beginnings”.
To pay tribute to the area we’re from, we decided to name the business Walltown Craftworks. Our hopes are for our business to grow and to prosper from its humble beginnings in the same way Walltown did.
We hope you enjoy the keepsakes you purchase as much as we enjoy creating them. Thank you for being part of our journey.
