A lovely day learning with Ruth! It was really good to be able to use my own pyrography machine and get some great advice. Ruth even made me a new tip to use.
Small pieces of wood are provided for you to practice on at the beginning and then you are able to choose from larger pieces of wood to create a bigger bit of artwork. (To be honest, I think Ruth should charge a little extra for some of the largest ones!)
It was a superb setting and really lovely to work outside too. Certainly an inspirational day. 😊
Ruth is lovely and a brilliant teacher. She made it simple and we all learned a lot. We had plenty of time to practise and we all made some pieces to be proud of. I am inspired to take pyrography up now as a hobby as I will have a good idea of what I need and how to go about it. The setting was so nice, smashing to work outside, and there was coffee/tea and cake too! Thank you Ruth x
I loved my course with Ruth yesterday. It was a wonderful introduction to pyrography and very rewarding to get `hands-on' very quickly, learn general techniques of wood burning patterns and produce a couple of pieces to take home. I will definitely continue to learn and practice further. A great day out and a lovely mindful learning experience :)

Thanks so much for the lovely review. It was lovely meeting you and inspiring you to pursue pyrographyLoved it. Great atmosphere and learnt a lot
A lovely day. Very relaxed atmosphere. I was a complete beginner. Ruth took time to find out exactly what I was interested in doing on the day. Helped and encouraged me and I was pleased with my efforts. Looking forward to buying my own machine and improving my skills.
Great day spent in a beautiful countryside setting. Ruth's artwork inspired us to create uor own impressive pieces. The use of paint with pyrography is so striking. Thank you Ruth.
So it was pouring with rain and 10 degree’s colder but no matter to the talented Ruth. My first pyrography course and I learned a great deal. Very welcoming and I learned a great deal and created a piece far better than I expected. I will be back.
