you will learn the basics of pyrography and make art onto a wood slice you get to take home!

choose the radial symmetry add-on for instructions on how to create a one-of-a-kind mandala-inspired pattern.

step-by-step instructions on techniques for this meditative hobby will be demonstrated and discussed using a 3 pyrography machines (at different price points so you can get an understanding of professional tools versus beginner ones) and a wide range of burning tools and tips. the intention here is that if you want to continue pyrography at home, you will be equipped with the knowledge on the right tools for you, the range of prices for machines and necessary accessories, the wood varieties and how they interact with your burner, woods and their toxicities, and so much more!

this is meant to be a casual and relaxing event teaching you to slow down your mind by burning mandalas into wood!

Basia was professional, talented and an excellent teacher. I felt safe, comfortable and well taken care of. What I valued the most was how she explained all the secrets to the craft that I would not have learned otherwise. Tricks of the trade, explaination on equipment and where to get the best value for your buck. She was an incredibly postive teacher. I highly recommend this clasee to anyone who wants a fun weekend, or a special treat.

Basia was welcoming, extremely knowledgable, skilled and took her time to show my friend and I how to do Wood burning and mandalas. We were so happy with the mandalas that we created through her instruction that we are going to varnish and hang them for display. The class far exceeded our expectations. Wood burning is fun and as we learned, very relaxing as well. We both highly recommend taking Basia’s course.

This was such a unique and relaxing experience. Basia is a patient and encouraging teacher and she managed to bring out the creativity in each of us. I never knew how satisfying it could be to burn lines and dots into wood!! This is a perfect activity for a small group of friends or date night. Highly recommend.

learn to burn with kids

give children a front row view of how to create custom art via wood burning! perfect for parties, play dates and sleepovers.

children draw their desired image, then watch me bring it to life with burning what they drew (adding colour if they like). older children can try out pyrography if they like!

*price will depend on amount of kids, ages and location of event.
