Intro To Pyrography & Wood Dyeing
with Christian CasasSaturday, May 3, 12 PM - 3 PM
Learn to create decorative designs with a wood-burning tool in this beginner-friendly class. Christian Casas will lead you through the steps from strategy to execution of your first piece. Learn how to prepare a wooden surface, transfer a design, and use a wood-burning tool to create lines and color on a wooden object. In this class, I will teach you how to use an essential pyrography tool to turn a simple fern design into a beautiful piece of wood-burned art. You will learn about the required tools and materials and how to use everything safely. We’ll go through some 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. All materials and machines are PROVIDED for this class. If you decide to purchase any equipment used in the class (new) there would be a 10% discount. Pyrography is a beautiful craft suitable for all skill levels. You can use it to create many different items for yourself or gifts for others: jewelry, 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 work, as the nature of burning is a great mindfulness practice - if you get a beautiful piece of art at the end, then that’s a bonus!
