Kathy Chilton has her pen in hand—not a ball point or roller ball, but a metal nib in a wooden holder, dripping with ink. She has been teaching calligraphy for more than 35 years. Her pen has also been used for illustrating books, writing travel guide books, articles, stories, and corresponding with friends and family around the world.
