You know how to use fountain pens and ball-point pens – but have you ever written with a quill? People used them for centuries. Does that mean that you can just pick up any stray feather off the ground and get writing? Or pluck one off the family parrot? Well, it takes a little more preparation than that, but it’s simple once you know what to do.
