The art of pyrography

Most authors take a fairly traditional approach to the topic, limited to pure burning into wooden surfaces. However, the art of pyrography goes much further and the author pushes the topic into new directions, e. g. incorporates mixed-media and other unusual practices and innovative techniques to elevate this craft to an art form. The book is suitable for beginners and more advanced pyrographers, as well as artists who want to experiment with new ideas and incorporate pyrography into their work. The author begins with an overview of materials, tools, and equipment, and an introduction to basic techniques. It also describes how to transfer the design to a wooden surface, how to play with the background, and how to finish and protect the work. The main benefit of the book, however, is the way in which colours, inks, pigments, resin, and sheet metal are used to achieve perfect results.
