Hey fellow Toasties... Welcome to Pyro Corner...

Grab yourself a cuppa,

put your feet up & let's chat all things Pyro...

I so love to share my passion and enthusiasm with others. This little pyro corner is for all you creatives, artists, and wood burnering toasties, (whether beginner or experienced), who are looking for something new and exciting. Its a fun ride ….A piece of wood, a pyrography machine and a few simple supplies are all you need to get started … so jump in and set your imagination free. I hope you find a little something that will warm your heart and feed your soul.

 

Pyrography was something I stumbled across quite by accident a number of years ago when I was a little lost and without a tether. 

Often overlooked as a ‘craft’ I had unbeknown stumbled across a wonderful mark-making medium that would give me the ability and flexibility to create not only images of a line and wash nature similar to that of tattooing (I was a tattooist), but also allowed me to explore a more organic approach to art. It also opened up for me, a whole new platform to experiment with temperature, tips, and detail to create the wonderful intricacies associated with the medium and offered me the ability to create beautiful artwork with a hands on physical approach.

 

I’ve had no formal art training, all my experience is through trial and error, happy accidents and experimentation.  But by using modern materials, embracing an art led approach and adding a huge dose of wonder, it has allowed me to offer you a fresh, new and innovative approach to traditional Pyrography. These methods work for me … I'm hoping they might also work for you too! … or at least be the foothold to your own personal creative journey.... Enjoy xx

Some more bits to help with your journey

Sometimes its hard to know where to get started and where to source supplies ... so here's a list of some of the suppliers I like to use.

 

Its always lovely to be able to browse before you buy ... but if you are based in the UK it can be quite tricky to find a one stop shop for all things Pyrography. Thankfully we have a couple of stores like Yandles (in the UK) who offer a range of both quality pyrography machines, accessories and a huge range of wood (amongst other things). Its well worth a day out to go and visit them and have a mouch around.

This is not by any means an exhaustive list .. but hopefully may signpost you to a few hidden gems.

A word to the wise .. If you are thinking of buying a pyrography machine do check them out them before you buy. Cheap Chinese imports are cheap for a reason! .. They don't hold their temperature, often get too hot to hold and can be dangerous to use.
