Maker's bio

Tilia Holmes is a UK based artist specialising in pyrography, scorching and oil painting on natural edged pieces of wood. Inspired by trees she aims to capture the abstraction of leaves, branches and dappled light whilst retaining her realism style. Her process involves hand burning her illustrations onto the wood, then adding sections of oil paint and often embellishing with metal leaf.

Darryl Houghton reviewed: Beginners Pyrography Course

"I recently attended the course run by Tilia. She was very helpful and gave us a gentle introduction into Pyrography. During the course of six hours I completed three pieces, a small keyring, a coaster with an ammonite on it and a large piece with a woodpecker on it. The venue was incredible and really highlighted what could be done with wood. Tilia was an excellent tutor and had tons of patience while helping us create our art. She also worked on her own piece beside us. I highly recommend the course and if you have an interest in Pyrography this is the course to do "

Penny reviewed: Beginners Pyrography Course

"I spent a lovely day with Tilia learning the basics of pyrography. It was interesting and informative and I came away with a piece of art that I created myself! Tilia was so encouraging and I learned so much in the 6 hours we spent on our project. I have already asked to be put on her mailing list to do further courses. I’m hooked! "

"I really enjoyed this course & I highly recommend it. Tilia was a very knowledgable & helpful tutor. I picked up lots of useful tips. It was a small friendly group in lovely surroundings . I am very pleased with the owl picture that I made. My picture is now hanging on the wall in our hallway. Thank you"

Colin Austin reviewed: Beginners Pyrography Course

"The Pyrography course with Tilia Holmes was informative and enjoyable, and I'm glad I went. It was bought for me as a birthday present, and it was well worth the journey to Dorset (I live in Bude, Cornwall, so I booked a weekend away to attend). The setting – in an art gallery with inspiration all around – was great. Tilia was very casual and easy-going. She put everyone at ease and gave each individual as much attention as they needed. She set quite challenging tasks, that we could each meet at the level of our abilities and experience, then guided everyone to achieve really good work. All in all it was a fun and thoroughly enlightening course, and everyone left feeling not only that they had achieved a really high standard of work on the day, but wanting to continue to do so after getting home.
