**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 starsI’ve wanted an Abalone fountain pen for awhile and I jumped at the chance to get this one. I love the golden tones and the blues. I’m not quite used to the slimmer model but I’m sure it won’t take long! So happy to have this in my collection.

5 out of 5 starsBeautiful craftsmanship and honestly, just so much more stunning in person than I was expecting. The layers of color and sparkle are mesmerizing to look at and the the size of the pen turned out to be perfect for my hand. The packaging was also lovely and the velvety cushioned box was a nice touch. I cannot say enough good things about this pen. I’m so glad I jumped on it as soon as it was listed :D I’m so pleased!

5 out of 5 starsThis is my first Walltown purchase and my mind is blown by how spectacular this pen is. The detailed photos and video still can't do this beauty justice. The combination of colours and shimmer is so mesmerizing, I think I will spend more time turning it in my hands than actually writing with it. Not only is the pen gorgeous to look at, it has also been beautifully crafted and turned to perfection by an expert. I'm one happy customer and highly recommend Walltown. Thanks so much.

5 out of 5 starsI love adding another beautifully made pen from Brett to my collection. Brett's communication was great and the pen was shipped instantly. This was a flawless transaction.
About WalltownCraftworks
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.
