Day 1: Exploring Paper & Techniques

Begin your journey into paper pyrography by understanding the unique qualities of various papers including Fabriano, Arches and more. You'll learn to choose the right paper—such as sizing, weight, texture of paper—to ensure optimal results. Techniques like stippling, hatching, and gradient burning will be introduced to add depth and texture to your designs. Additionally, you'll discover how to incorporate colour using watercolour to enhance your artwork.

Day 2: Creating Artwork

On the second day, you'll apply the skills acquired to create a detailed pyrography artwork on professional paper in an 8x10 format. Guidance will be provided in transferring your design onto the paper, executing pyrography techniques, and layering colour. The session culminates in producing a piece suitable for framing, allowing you to showcase your new skills.
