What Is Pyrography?
​​
Pyrography is the timeless art of burning or scorching designs onto natural surfaces such as wood or leather. By mastering techniques and controlling temperature, you can transform a blank canvas into a striking piece of art.
Often referred to as “woodburning,” this craft offers incredible versatility. From soft basswood to sturdy oak, hard maple, or the distinct grains of pine, each type of wood provides a unique canvas to explore.
​
What makes pyrography so special is the freedom it gives artists to experiment. There’s no single “right” way to create—every artist and every piece is one of a kind. Whether you're drawn to intricate realism or abstract patterns, the beauty lies in discovering your style and letting your creativity flourish
