Hello

2025 news!

Rubato studio is introducing a bouquet preservation service. Our technique utilizing specialized sheets sand significantly speed up the process of flower drying. It preserves the vibrancy and whiteness of the petals and prevents shrinkage. We then frame or cast them in resin. Our penmaking always produces no bubble resin, which many other studios find difficult to manage.

You also can add pen orders using your preserved flowers.

Hello Again!

My new pen ideas came to me from years of eclectic experience in handcrafting. Pens are made by me, Emi Schima in California. I've always loved G nibs for pointed pen calligraphy but experimenting with the Schmidt M made another story! I have the MB 149 and agreed...

I've got a lathe after joining Nor Cal woodturner's club. They kindly taught me how to turn wood bowls. There were so many woodworking tools I've never heard of. After a long process of googling, ordering, waiting another drill bit, tap & die and over 1000 pen blanks, I've reached the point where I make my own shimmery ombre resin blanks to turn.

We were at SF penshow's the most hidden table. With a maskless dog 😀

Bgm I’m at a lathe is Led Zeppelin 70s lives. They run for 3-4 hours. Thank you LZ.
