Pyrography is derived from the Greek words for fire (Pur) and writing (Graphos). This art form is very old, with the first known pyrography items appearing before the first century. If you are interested in trying this ancient craft, this class is a great place to start. If you can hold a pen, you have the potential to become a woodburner. All it takes is a little patience.
Join our class and immerse yourself in the cozy campfire-esque aroma as you learn the art of woodburning through hands-on experience. During this class, you will have the opportunity to create your own art pieces to take home with you; they'd also make perfect holiday gifts (for yourself or a loved one). All materials will be provided for you, which includes wire woodburning tools (a step up from solid tip woodburning tools), and an assortment of other necessary tools. Students will select pre-chosen artwork that will be carbon copied on the wood pieces before burning art onto the wood.
This class will teach beginners the basics of woodburning, but it's also suitable for those who already have some experience. The instructor will offer help tailored to your skill level.
This class is open to all ages. Students under 18 must have a guardian present. The accompanying guardian does not have to register for the class, but they are welcome to do so if they'd like.
