Description
Pyrography is a multi-sensory art form that invites us to slow down, become present, and consider the process of creating through the “destructive” act of burning. While our focus will be on woodburning, participants will also learn about pyrography on canvas, leather, and other natural materials. We will review different tools, tips, and pyrography equipment for woodburning, including image transfer techniques, and use a woodburning pen to design and burn two keepsake wooden boxes. Participants will also learn how woodburning can be combined with other art forms, such as painting and drawing, to enhance their projects. Each participant will leave with knowledge of woodburning basics, two woodburned boxes (of various sizes to choose from), and ideas for future burns.
