I have been teaching pyrography privately and as an instructor to members of the Saskatchewan Woodworkers Guild for 3 years. I am fairly flexible when it comes to times for classes. Classes can be structured to run for an entire day, Saturday or Sunday, or a weekday evening for 2 or 3 hours over the course of a couple or more weeks.

Here is an overview of what a full day class would look like:

• Class times: 9:00 am - 5:00 pm
• Minimum of 3 students, maximum of 5 students per class (this allows lots of one-on-one instruction)
• Ages: 10 and up - younger students may be accepted with parental permission.
• Topics covered in class:
  • Safety
  • Overview of equipment and materials used in pyrography
  • Pen techniques
  • Creating and using patterns
  • Line work and shading instruction
  • Adding text elements
  • Student project - students will start a simple project that they can take home by the end of the class
• Wood burners and pens will be provided (and are available for purchase) if you do not have them.
• All materials used for the class are provided by me.
• Local classes will be taught in my backyard shop in Warman, SK.
