Woodburning with Style

Discover a Classic Craft with a Creative, Contemporary Twist

In Woodburning with Style, award-winning artist and pyrographer Simon Easton takes the craft of pyrography, which literally means "writing with fire," and stands it on end. He describes his fresh, artistic creations as "Wood Tattoos," not only because of the visual similarity in the drawing and creative process, but because each finished piece has a distinctive story to tell.

With his contemporary flair and creative use of pattern and texture, Easton will take you on a journey from the concepts and basics of woodburning to the tips and techniques that will encourage your creativity and develop your style. Nine step-by-step projects -- including coasters, key rings, and a wall clock -- are mixed in with expert lessons covering everything from making simple marks to texturing and lettering.

Regardless of your artistic ability, woodburning is a rewarding craft that's practically infinite in its applications. And with Easton's guidance, you'll quickly find your own creative niche within the art form. So, whether you're a beginner or have been woodburning for years -- Woodburning with Style will inspire and inform you with its beautiful designs, expert techniques, and creative vision. Get Burning!
