What is Pyrography

Ancient Art

Since humans found fire, they found a way to create art with it. From burnt wood charcoal drawings, to hot poker work to modern pyrography, artists have been using fire and heat to decorate all manner of media.

Modern pyrography uses a series of heated styluses and torches to create artworks in natural media such as wood, leather, cork, bone, dried plants, and so forth. The ability to control the temperature of styluses allows for more complexity in lines and shading
