MEET THE MAKER
A second life for wood.
A lasting first impression.
For Ty Brockington, a piece of reclaimed wood is the beginning of something. At Crafty Ink Pens, he turns wood from meaningful places into artisan writing instruments—each shaped by hand, each with a character of its own.
Based at theArtWorks in Wilmington, Ty’s craft extends beyond his own workbench. As a mentor with Kids Making It, he helps the next generation discover what they can make with their own hands.
