In this 2 hour workshop you'll craft a custom wood plaque using the art of pyrography aka woodburning--don’t worry, it’s nothing illegal! You’ll learn the basic techniques of decorative wood burning, which, although dating back centuries, can be expressed with fun, contemporary designs. Using a pen-like burning tool, you’ll work on small wood pieces to practice the basic technique.
Next you’ll move on to your masterpiece, etching a custom design on a wood plaque. All supplies and equipment provided.
I am excited to share with you some techniques and projects, and look forward to see your beautiful works online. Join me!
