Learn To Burn - Basics of Woodburning
Saturday, August 17th
9:30am – 4:30pm
Instructor: Michele Parsons
This class is designed for students who have never touched a woodburner, as well as students that have experience and wish to improve their skills.
Do not worry if you are not an artist! Michele will teach you how to transfer a pattern and burn it. Basic information about woodburning is covered, including: safety, wood selection and preparation, equipment selection and care, burning techniques with different types of pens, transferring patterns, correcting mistakes, adding color and finishes, and you’ll use the basic pens to practice woodburning techniques. Then you will burn your first pyrography project.
Note to interested woodcarvers/woodworkers: This class will teach you woodburning skills that are best to master on a flat surface before you start woodburning round/carved pieces
