Book Review: Learning the Art of Pyrography
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is a good beginners introduction to the wonderful world of Pyrography. Lots of color and illustrations with easy to comprehend text. I was a little disappointed in the photo references, which show an American made burning tool being used. This tool is not readily available worldwide and may deter a potential Pyrographer from pursuing the art any further. There are many other tools available for creating this art and it's a pity these options were not suggested in this book. The upside of the book is it's clear and precise layouts and (disregarding the obvious tool brand loyalty) the demonstration photos and sketches are first rate. I would have liked to see a bit more information on Pyrographing paper and gourds....Maybe Mr Chapman will honour us with a Vol.2? I think this book is must have for any Pyrographer, as any book of this type is always handy as a reference guide.
Summary of Learning the Art of Pyrography
The art of pyrography -- burning designs into wood and many other materials -- can add a special touch to any project, including wooden trunks and jewelry, wildlife carvings, leather pictures, and paper collages. In this book, Al Chapman will explain the different tools and mediums that can be used, and will show you in detail how to use them for different effects. You will learn several methods of transferring a pattern onto your piece of wood or leather, how to give depth to your pictures with crosshatching, stippling, and flat-edge shading, how to make realistic-looking fur, and how to add shadows and highlights. Chapmans extensive experience with these techniques allows him to give you helpful hints for keeping your pictures realistic looking, with subtle and graceful lines. You will also learn how to use your pyrography techniques on paper, a technique that is useful for borders, collages, or decoupage.Crafts & Hobbies Books
