quill writing
Ink-dipped plume script
Quill writing is the practice of writing with a feather quill—a pen made from a bird's flight feather, typically goose.
The term evokes historical or calligraphic contexts: She took a class in quill writing to learn medieval scripts.
The craft requires cutting the quill tip at an angle and periodically re-sharpening it.
