Tutor - Jessica Bartlett

1-day workshop

Sunday 30 June 2024, 10.30am - 3.30pm

Explore experimental mark making through the skill of pyrography (‘writing with fire’). During this one-day workshop you will learn how to draw with a pyrography iron. This is a hand-held craft tool similar to a soldering iron that heats up to burn wood in a controlled way.
Working with botanical still life as inspiration you will gain confidence in using this interesting technique to build up lines and marks to create your finished piece on a wooden board. Alongside using the pyrographic marks, you can also explore more gestural and spontaneous drawing techniques with charcoal and ash to complement the line work.

All materials provided. Please bring an apron or wear clothes suitable for an art studio, and bring a bag or portfolio for taking your work home at the end of the session.
