Embered Designs Intro


I studied Art and Design at the University of Creative arts. Originally the idea was to further my education with a degree in photography. However as we all know things rarely go as planned, so instead i moved to America and got married to my lovely husband.  It was here in America that i found out about Pyrography.  Pyrography means "writing with fire", it is the art of decorating wood or other materials with burn marks resulting from the controlled application of a heated object such as a poker.  It is also known as poker work or wood burning. I bought my first wood burning tool at a Yard sale and i am so glad i did!

It was only after I joined Phoenix Oddities Studios that i really got the confidence to make a career out of my Pyrography work.  It will be my first season on the art show circuit this year and i must admit i am a little nervous, especially as our first show is in just 5 days time! However i am sure with Lindsay's help i will over come my nerves and have a fantastic time. We are going to be at Chillicothe, OH for Earth Gathering on the 16th of April.
