the art of pyrography is a fun and versatile hobby. I have partnered up with wood burn corner to bring you tried and tested products, knowledge and resources to help you start the art of pyrography without overthinking the process and getting the right tools and materials, from the beginning!
there are a few ways I would recommend starting this relaxing hobby:
ONE
join the pyrography club!
burn club is a free subscription to a newsletter featuring artists and includes some pyrography knowledge and essentials, community news and happenings as well as featured artists in the community and more!
this is where to get the rundown of events, community happenings, templates, tips and tricks for wood burning and so much more!
why I joined the burn club
not only was I able to learn a ton of tips and tricks of the trade but I also made some really great friends along the way!
i’ve learned so much from the community and love to keep up with any challenges, news and events.
TWO
the razertip starter kit
the wood burn box is a starter box that includes all the tools and materials you need - a great gift for those looking to try pyrography.
it makes it super simple to start. the box includes:
a wood burning tool
a pen with a couple different tip options for you to find your favourite
cleaning tool
and a guide!
why I like this starter box
this box makes it easy to start wood burning with no experience.
everything you need to get started, right when you open the box!
THREE
the complete wood burning toolkit: self-guided online learning centre
this is an online wood burning toolkit that dives deep into all facets of pyrography.
it’s the number one online resource for pyros with health and safety, burning techniques, tool reviews, recommendations, book review and recommendations, transfer techniques, adding color to your wood, wood surfaces plus some alternative surfaces to burn and so much more!
why I like this toolkit
this toolkit allows you to dive deep into the world of wood burning from your own home, at your own pace.
it gives you all the resources, from the tools you need (with reviews from us and the community), wood sources, safety guides, techniques, tool cleaning and maintenance and so much more.
FOUR
take an in-person class
another recommendation to learn the art of pyrography is to take a class! I am teaching live in-person pyrography classes that also can include (if you wish) learning the relaxing art of mandala making. let me know if you choose to learn wood burning with another design.
classes are held at my home or at my family's woodworking shop in ontario, canada 🇨🇦

learn to burn in-person
you will be creating a one-of-a-kind mandala (or whatever image you want) with instructions and support using a custom-made grid.
then, you will learn the basics of pyrography and will wood burn the mandala you drew onto a wood slice for you to take home!
FIVE
take an online class
these pre-recorded classes are great for all levels and will guide you from start to finish!
