Josh Lax Nib Grinding - Jan 24 & Feb 7, 2026

Josh Lax will be back two more weekends at Yoseka for nib grinding appointments!

A lifelong pen enthusiast, Joshua J. Lax began collecting fountain pens in 2009 and soon discovered a passion for restoration and nib work. Trained under the legendary Richard Binder, J.J. brings both deep expertise and an artist’s touch to every nib he shapes. Since starting his workshop in Brooklyn, he has customized nibs for collectors and major pen brands around the world. And in 2022, he won the first and only fountain pen nib competition in history!

During this event, you’ll get to work with J.J. in person and experience his craftsmanship firsthand on your pens. Whether you’re looking to fine-tune your favorite pen or explore a new writing feel entirely, this is your chance to see what makes a J.J. Lax grind special.

For Doris in the previous comment – I just tried booking for the Sunday option generated by the website and the appointment was immediately cancelled from his side. This website booking calendar needs improvement (as a friendly hint hint.)

It appears that Josh is all booked up on Feb 7 but there are appointments available on Feb 8. Is that right—will he be at Yoseka on both days?
