Recent reviews of Diamine Ink Studio (Autumn London Pen Show)

  • 5/5 from Paul Williams, attended Oct 2025: Wow, what a simply super workshop and you get to come away with your own ink at the end of it, all the girls were fantastic and knowledgeable about the mixing ink and gave advice on the best colours to add to help you achieve the end result you wanted. The mixing method is using CMYK so I would advise find an ink you really like or colour and look on the ink swatching website for the relevant CMYK which will assist you in working out the number of drops to create a similar colour. The time seemed to speed by which shows how much I enjoyed this workshop.. will happily consider to redo in the spring pen show if it’s available and try a different ink, maybe even add shimmer this time.
  • 4/5 from Amy Lobé, attended Oct 2025: I had a lot of fun making my own ink! I'm glad I did it. 4* because the environment made it hard to hear and it wasn't possible to make lighter coloured inks or inks of some colours (blue-purples, purple pinks).

Hi! I’m Joey — owner of a cozy online stationery shop, admin of the Diamine Ink Studio, and the host of Stamp Station.
My journey began with a deep love for fountain pens and ink. I was captivated by the beauty and personality each pen and color brought to the page. This passion eventually inspired me to create my own exclusive ink colors: "Kong Girls" and "Kong Guys", which reflect my creativity and love for storytelling through stationery.
Wanting to share this joy with others, I began attending and participating in pen shows in the UK, stationery festivals, and various journal meet-ups. Along the way, I discovered that what truly fulfilled me was bringing people together through creativity.
To deepen this connection, I partnered with the renowned British ink brand Diamine to co-host the Diamine Ink Studio Workshop, where fellow ink lovers could create their own unique ink colors — a dream come true for many in the community!
More recently, I launched Stamp Station, a creative space where participants can explore the art of stamping and experiment with different ink pads and techniques. It's all about making creativity accessible, fun, and hands-on.
I’m incredibly passionate about teaching and sharing because I know how powerful it is to find beauty in the small things — like the perfect ink color or the satisfying click of a stamp. Whether you’re a seasoned journaler or new to the world of stationery, I’m here to help you explore, express, and enjoy every moment.
