5. Family Tree Pyrographic
Family Tree
Created: February 2015
Type of Piece: Class Project
Role: Lead Designer
Media: Soldering Iron on wood board
This was a pro-bono piece that was for a disable veteran. This is a pyro-graphic… “the art of decorating wood or other materials with burn marks resulting from the controlled application of a heated object such as a soldering Iron”. The veteran printed a quote and asked for it to be burnt on wood with a tree in the background. I am just learning the art of pyrography and this was my third piece. It took around 10 to 12 hours, broken up in an hour or two of burning per day; if time allowed due to prior military obligations.
