learning about radial and symmetry design principles can greatly improve an artist's ability to create visually striking and harmonious compositions. Radial designs are based on circular or spiral patterns that radiate out from a central point, while symmetry designs are based on mirroring patterns around a central axis. both principles can be used to create balanced and aesthetically pleasing compositions that draw the viewer's eye.
pyrography is a unique and fascinating medium that can produce stunning results when used correctly. by learning the techniques and best practices for pyrography, artists can add a new dimension to their creative repertoire and explore the possibilities of working with wood or other materials.
the tutorial will cover important technical aspects of drawing your own radial symmetry patterns as well as pyrography, such as selecting the right tools, working with different types of wood, and achieving different effects through varying the temperature and pressure of the pyrography tool. This technical knowledge can be essential for achieving the desired results in a pyrography piece and can save artists time and frustration in the long run.

RESOURCES AND TOOLS
Join us with your pyrography tools, a wood slice and a design (included in your purchase or you can bring your own) if you plan on burning along with us for intro to wood burning. Make sure to print the template sized to your wood, along with graphite paper to transfer it onto the slice.
If you don’t have any pyrography tools or materials and want to burn with us, check out the DIY Wood Burning Kit blog post for resources and links on where to purchase everything you need to get wood burning.
All you need for drawing your own radial symmetry pattern is a piece of paper, pen/pencil, a compass (we can improvise), and a ruler (also optional)!
