Pyrography

What is Pyrography? “the art or technique of decorating wood or leather by burning a design on the surface with a heated metallic point.”

I source the wooden materials from the UK and the majority comes from a small family run business based in York, the wood is sycamore and is all sourced from managed woodlands and plantations in the UK. I take the wooden product and decorate this using pyrography to create personalised items, from key-rings and letter openers to keepsake boxes and stools. With this art anything you can draw with a pen is possible in pyrography. The pyrography machine is used like a pen burning a permanent design into the wood which can be simple lettering to portraits of people or pets, whatever you choose these product make great personal gifts for anyone.
