A new edition of this practical introduction to Pyrography, the art of
decorating wood using heated tools.
The art of fire-writing is returning trend, and there is no better way
to learn the technique and inspire yourself than through this updated
edition of Daniel Wright's ultimate introduction to pyrography.
Daniel Wright's enthusiasm for his subject is beautifully captured in a
sequence of clear, easy-to-follow step-by-step photographs and unusual
projects. Taking his inspiration from pen and ink, engraving and
watercolour techniques, he demonstrates many exciting methods and
traditional ways of wood burning to create myriad patterns, pictures and
motifs including landscapes, trees, flowers, animals and buildings.
Information is included on the types of wood to use, how to prepare
surfaces, working with the grain and enhancing designs. He goes on to
illustrate shading and faux marquetry, and there's a section on using
photographs and sketches to produce unique designs. With each new
technique, a project is introduced by Daniel to help you learn and
explore your new skill - from burning your own chessboard to a stunning
fairytale stool design for your little one's bedroom. Finally, advice
and demonstrations are provided on decorating old wooden objects,
revitalizing much-loved pieces by working patterns into their worn
textured surfaces.
This book will inspire, entertain and instruct you, whether you are a
complete beginner or an experienced pyrographer.
