🔎 Looking for a chance to give pyrography, the art of wood burning, a go? Or maybe you're looking to upgrade your pen and want to 'try before you buy'? Then The Creative Craft Show is the perfect opportunity for you!
The Creative Craft Show in Birmingham is a show that welcomes creatives from all over the UK to do some seasonal crafting! It is a haven for knitting, cross stitch and paper crafting enthusiasts, offering the very latest supplies, ideas, and innovations in the craft and hobby world.
In March 2025, I'll be there hosting pyrography 'Make & Take' sessions! Whether you’re completely new to wood burning or want to refine your skills, this therapeutic craft offers a wonderful way to create personalised, and unique pieces of art.
There's no need to book in advance for my sessions. If there's a seat available, you can get stuck in straight away!
What to expect from my 'Make & Take' sessions:
️‍🔥 Safety First: Learn essential guidelines to work safely with the high-heat pyrography pen.
️‍🔥 Slowly Does It: Practice making some marks before creating your masterpiece!
️‍🔥 Decisions: Choose one of the Spring themed designs to burn, or request a plain wood blank to design your own.
️‍🔥 Burn, baby burn! Follow the template to burn your design onto the wood!
️‍🔥 Finishing Touches: Discover how to add a splash of colour using watercolour pencils to make your decoration unique (optional).
By the end of the 'Make & Take', you'll leave with a super cute decoration, handmade by you! These drop-in sessions are suitable for visitors looking to try pyrography for the first time, or if you're guilty of already owning a pyrography pen that has never come out of the box (I know you're out there!), come see me and I'll help you overcome the 'fear of the unknown!'
