Introduction to Wood Burning - a versatile skill

via Skillshare

Overview

Save Big on Coursera Plus. 7,000+ courses at $160 off. Limited Time Only!

In this class I will teach you how to take a design and turn it into a piece of wood burned art from start to finish. I walk you through all of the necessary tools and materials needed, how to transfer an image to wood, and how to burn using all of the tricks I’ve learned along the way. This is the class I wish was available when I was first learning. I aim to take all the guesswork out of the learning process so you can enjoy everything this relaxing hobby has to offer.

Wood burning can be applied to so many different crafts: bookmarks, earrings, serving dishes, wall decor, furniture, signs, children’s toys, kitchenware, and so sooo much more. Your options are endless. A hand-burned wood piece makes a great wedding, baby shower, housewarming, or holiday gift! It is a skill that you can use over and over again. 

Tools: Woodburner, graphite paper, slice of wood, design, pen or embossing tool, eraser, and sand paper.
