I returned home on Sunday after a few days in Derbyshire with my hubby. After attending a short pyrography workshop locally last December, I signed up for an all day pyrography workshop with Bob Neill in Derbyshire. I remember seeing Bob demonstrating at the big craft show in the NEC Birmingham many years ago. It's been on my wish list for a long time to attend one of his workshop. What an amazing day I had on Saturday! I learnt so much about the craft and with just two of us in the group (not my 'uncrafty' hubby, I hasten to add 🤣), we had lots of individual attention.
We started by practising different techniques on small plaques.
We then progressed to decorating a spoon.
Our final project was to decorate a cheeseboard.
If you ever fancy learning the craft of pyrography, I can't recommend Bob highly enough. The course was held in Bob's home and included a delicious lunch prepared by his lovely wife, Del. I now have my own machine and look forward to hopefully developing my pyrography skills.
Wow Liz, these look amazing, definitely not like something produced by a beginner- you must have a natural aptitude for pyrography. Looking forward to seeing your next projects- enjoy your new hobby.

Wow you are a woman of many talents Liz. These all look amazing! I am looking forward to seeing more of your wonderful projects with the new machine!!
ReplyDeleteYour pyrography pieces are amazing! It's clear that you have a natural talent for this craft. The cheeseboard with the fun little mouse is absolutely adorable, and the spoon has such intricate details. It sounds like you had a wonderful time at the workshop and learned a lot. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your pyrography projects!
ReplyDeleteYou got so many items decorated and it sounds like an wonderful day too. They all look amazing for your first attempt, obviously a natural. Over the years people have asked me why I don't give it a go, but it has never appealed to me. Although if I lived near I would probably have a go at this course based on your results.
