Description
Be inspired by nature and create your own piece of Pyrography Art to be proud of!
Birtley Woodland Art Space is nestled within the woodland beyond the lake on the Birtley Estate in Bramley, a beautiful Surrey Hills location, so picturesque with its lakes and gardens and woodland walks and not surprisingly it is classified as an "AONB" an area of outstanding natural beauty!
Pyrography/ Wood Carving
Ruth has over twenty years of Wood Carving and Pyrography experience and will guide you step by step to create a stunning Art piece by using a Pyrography machine and or add a little relief carving onto a solid piece of Local Wood using traditional gouged and mallets or a design drawn and burnt into wood.
The workshop will take place in an outdoor studio space set on the grounds of the 48 acre Birtley Estate.
Be inspired by Ruth's Art and or the surrounding landscape or bring a sketch or your own design.
Ruth will guide you through the stages and traditional techniques used to create an art pyro piece or a 2 relief carving or sign.
You will learn how to finish off and protect your work for both indoor or outdoor display.
We have multiple dates for this workshop available throughout the year, perfect for those who wish to return and add more detail into the carving or would like to work on a more ambitious piece that may take more than one day to complete!
You will leave this workshop with knowledge and confidence in the techniques and tools used to be able to continue carving at home if desirable.
You can choose to do my Pyrography or Wood Carving in the Woods or combine both Woodcarving and Pyrography into your piece of art.
Please choose which option you would like to do.
