Cherry Ferris throws open the world of wood burning with a new art-led approach and shows you how to use different media and materials to set off your pyrographic artwork.

Packed with encouraging, practical and insightful advice on pursuing your own artistic path, this book covers everything you need to draw with fire – whether you are an experienced pyrographer or want to expand your horizons with a new medium. Containing:
  • A brief overview and history of the subject
  • A tools and equipment section
  • An introduction to the basic techniques and information on surfaces that you can safely burn.
