Workshop Overview

In this workshop, participants will learn about the dynamic practice of creating designs on objects with heat. 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 and practice on several different types of wood. Participants will also learn about various techniques, tricks and finishes to enhance their projects. Each participant will leave with several practice pieces and a select work of their own.
