In this class I will teach you how to use a basic pyrography tool to turn a simple fern design into a beautiful piece of wood burned art. You will learn about the different tools and materials that are required and how to use everything safely. We’ll go through some of the different types of surfaces you can burn on, different burners and nibs, how to transfer the design onto the wood, burning techniques and what finishes to use to seal and protect your art.
This class is suitable for beginners, no prior experience is necessary. You will need a piece of wood for your art, another for practise, sand paper, the downloaded template, a pencil or pen, carbon paper, a rubber, tape, a printer and a pyrography machine.
Pyrography is a wonderful craft suitable for all skill levels. You can use it to create so many different items for yourself or gifts for others; jewellery, photo frames, furniture, wall decor, candle holders, wedding decor, memorial pieces… The list goes on! It also doesn’t have to be about the finished piece, as the nature of burning is a great mindfulness practise - if you get a beautiful piece of art at the end then that’s a bonus!
