Irish, author of Great Book of Woodburning, offers more than 40 amazingly detailed new projects that explore the craft of pyrography across the full range of inventive pyro media.
Inside Art & Craft of Pyrography, you'll learn the basics of pyrography systems, tools, supplies and practice boards. Differences between the various substrates are examined and discussed, including both wood and non-wood working surfaces.
Lora provides expert advice on temperature settings, fill patterns, hand positions, textures, stroke patterns and more. Chapters are included on creating tonal values, understanding shadows, adding color to your burnings, and finishing the work. 43 patterns illustrate the application of fine pyrography across a wide variety of imaginative media, including vegetable tanned leather, dried gourds, cotton fabric, artist paper, chipboard and papier-mâché.
Lora S. Irish is known for her amazingly detailed patterns that positively exude expression, and this book does not disappoint! Each fascinating project includes complete instructions plus photographs of both the finished piece and the work-in-progress across pale, medium, dark and detailed stages.
