Intro to Wood Burning aka Pyrography for Beginners -Level 1
2025-05-10 18:00 - 21:00 (America/Edmonton)
Learn to burn! This intro covers everything you need to know to get started.

Introduction to Wood Burning (Pyrography) for Beginners
Learn something new and have fun during this hands-on workshop. This small class is perfect for those who are new to wood burning and want to explore the art of pyrography. This is also a good opportunity to try the Razer Tip Woodburning tool before you buy one.
You will learn step by step how to create a wood burned work of art. Little art experience is necessary just some time and patience. There is something very soothing and relaxing about burning patterns into wood. You will learn how to use the wood-burner safely. We will go over the difference between the wood burning tools that are available. You will learn how to transfer your drawing onto the wood, which wood works best, and how to add a bit of colour.
Wood is supplied and the tool that we use is the Razer Tip woodburning system. Feel free to bring your own reference material to trace or draw from or use templates provided. Some people freehand and just go for it and some people use reference material and trace their design. You can also do a bit of both:) Magically everyone does something totally different and unique to them! It’s a fun thing to do for a date night or a new activity with friends or family.
There are only 4 people maximum in a class, ages 12 and up. If you would like to book an evening with your younger kids check out my website:)
Location: 1721 29 Avenue SW Suite #225, Calgary, AB T2T 1P5
Discover the joy of transforming ordinary pieces of wood into your own unique works of art.
