BURNING ON PAPER! PAPER PYROGRAPHY WITH HEATHER MARTIN

February 23 @ 1:00 pm - March 2 @ 3:30 pm EST

$130.00

Join Pyrography artist Heather Martin of FireWork Designs for an introduction to the art of burning on paper! In this interactive 2-Sunday afternoon class students will have an opportunity to explore and practice creating consistent lines, patterns, and shading with burning on paper!

Both classes will begin with warm-up practice.  Week 1 will include practice burning on a few small samples of paper. By the end of day one artists will aim to have their burning complete and be ready to add color for week 2!  Week 2 will start by experimenting with layering colour (watercolour, acrylic, and ink) and masking using the same sample papers.

Over the two Sundays, Heather will offer guidance on:

  • paper types and how they’re made
  • which paper is safe to burn on and what to look for in selecting paper
  • comparison of Strathmore, Stonehenge, and hot vs cold press papers
  • how to prepare paper and experiment with layering other mediums

No experience necessary!

Please note, there is a $10 kit fee, payable in cash to the instructor at the start of class. All materials are included in the kit fee.
