Pyrography is the art of burning a design into wood using a heated
metallic point. Most books on the market take a fairly traditional
approach to the subject, limited to using pure burning onto a range
of wooden surfaces. The Art of Pyrography goes far beyond this.
Cherry Ferris takes the subject to new heights, incorporating mixed
media, unusual supports and innovative techniques to elevate the
craft to an artform. The book is suitable for beginners as well as
more advanced pyrographers, and is well-suited to artists from
other media who want to experiment with new ideas and incorporate
pyrography into their practice. Pyrography machines are easily
obtainable from online suppliers and major craft stores. The Art of
Pyrography begins with an overview and history of the subject, a
tools and equipment section, an introduction to the basic
techniques and information on surfaces that you can safely burn.
The book moves onto how to transfer designs onto surfaces and
incorporate a mixed media approach by looking at shading
techniques, introducing colour into your work, playing with
backgrounds and how to finish, protect and display your finished
pieces. Four shorter mini burns complement ten longer step-by-step
projects that walk the reader through the techniques and materials
used. A troubleshooting and safety section is also included, making
this a one-stop shop to get all your pyrography questions answered.
Chapters include: Colour: Incorporating coloured pencils, paint,
and inks Using resin to finish your work - which results in a
beautiful glass-like finish Using gold leaf to add a touch of
magic.
