the art of pyrography is a fun and versatile hobby.
I wish more information was available when I started out… but this is exactly why I am sharing all my knowledge and resources. I want to share the love of wood burning with anyone interested!
there are a few ways I would recommend starting this relaxing hobby:
one
check out my quick-start guide
this is a quick guide to get you through the basics of pyrography.
why I made this guide
pyrography is a mindfulness practice like no other. it’s gotten me through difficult times when I needed to mentally escape reality… I want to share this peace of mind practice with the world!
two
take an in-person class
another recommendation to learn the art of pyrography is to take a class! I am teaching live in-person pyrography classes that also can include (if you wish) learning the relaxing art of mandala making. let me know if you choose to learn wood burning with another design.
classes are held at my home or at my family's woodworking shop in ontario, canada 🇨🇦

learn to burn in-person
you will be creating a one-of-a-kind mandala (or whatever image you want) with instructions and support using a custom-made grid.
then, you will learn the basics of pyrography and will wood burn the mandala you drew onto a wood slice for you to take home!
three
take an online class
these pre-recorded classes are great for all levels and will guide you from start to finish!
