About

About me

I work in a small workshop by the sea, with a bench, a window, a box of wood offcuts and a pen that gets hot enough to draw with. Pyrography is just that: drawing with heat. I began with a cheap pen and a plank from a fruit crate, and I have never found a better way to spend a quiet afternoon.

Over the years I have drawn hundreds of patterns, and I sell the ones that other people ask for: boats, birds, branches and animals, ready to trace onto a board. I also teach what took me years to learn, in two video courses for people who want to start burning wood, or make their shading look less flat.

Questions

How do the downloads arrive?

After checkout you receive an email with a download link, and the same link is shown on the confirmation page. Everything is a PDF made to print on ordinary A4 or Letter paper.

Is there merch?

Yes: tees, mugs, totes, prints and stickers with my own designs. Each is printed to order and shipped by Printful, and the cost and delivery time show at checkout.

How often does the letter come, and how do I leave?

One every Tuesday. Every email has an unsubscribe link at the bottom, and it works at once.

Do I need special tools to start?

A basic wood burning pen, a few pieces of smooth wood and a pencil are enough. The beginner course shows the tips I would buy first.
