Pyrography is the term used for burning an image onto a surface normally timber, leather or paper. The word Pyrography is Greek for Drawing with Fire. The art is very old and instead of using heated sticks as the Greeks did we have advanced with electric powered equipment. Pyrography is a very versatile art form because it gives the artist the ability to create a vast range of images on wood, leather, paper, gourds and more.
Pyrography can be used to create pictures or for decorating items such as wooden pieces, gourds, picture frames, family shields, furniture and many more.
