After 2 Years… A Journey with Pineapple Studio

In April 2023, we quietly launched our website, pineapplestudioatuk.com. We didn’t know exactly where the road would lead, but step by step, event by event, we've grown.

From the Chester Pen Show, to StationeryFest, to the London Pen Show, we've had the joy of meeting so many new friends who share the same love for journaling, ink, and all things stationery.

I still remember our very first StationeryFest. I told a kind lady, “Please give me some time, I’ll bring something special next year.” And in 2024, we did just that. We proudly launched the Diamine Ink Studio, a unique workshop where participants could create their own custom ink. It was an incredible experience to watch people craft something truly personal — a color that tells their story.

Stationery has given me a chance to connect with people, to hear their wishes, and to imagine what could come next.

This year, we introduced another new workshop: Stamp Station, a space to share my personal stamp collection and help others create something meaningful, by hand.

People often ask, “Why focus on workshops, not just selling items?”The answer is simple: I want to reach more people, to offer an experience, not just a product. I want each event to be a memory — something people can take home, share with friends, and remember.

Workshops are more than creative activities. They’re a way for people to meet, to talk, to share their favourite tools, and to maybe make a new friend. This is what drives me.

Thank you to all of our amazing customers — thank you for your continuous support of our shop and workshops. Your encouragement is the reason Pineapple keeps growing.

A special thank you to the event hosts — UK Pen Show, StationeryFest, and all the Planner Meet-up organisers. Without your platforms and passion, Pineapple wouldn’t have had the chance to flourish the way it has.

And of course, thank you to our wonderful collaborators: Diamine, for always supporting our ideas and helping bring the Ink Studio to life. Zita Ink and LuFish Co., for sharing this creative journey with us.

As we continue forward, my goal remains the same: To create meaningful moments, one stationery meetup at a time.
