Burning Desires – Pyrography

Pyrography by Fergus & Sallianne Presswell

Having always fancied having a go at Pyrography (literal translation: writing with fire or wood burning), I was very happy when my wife got me a pyrography tool for an early Christmas present last year.

After trying a few test pieces, I decided to have a go at making some Christmas presents for some of my nieces and nephews. These turned out really well and everyone that saw them really liked them… an idea was born.

We decided to make a few more boxes and signs and go to Christmas Craft Fairs with them. By a strange coincidence, one of them was run by our next door neighbour’s mum, Sue Marshman of Marshmellow Designs, a fortuitous meeting as she offered us a wealth of advice and inspiration.

Since then, we have expanded the range of items that we make and decorate – my wife lines all the boxes and spends hours adding individual diamante decorations. We personalise all our items and often produce commissioned pieces on the spot.

I have recently started glass engraving as well. I will be taking orders for weddings etc.
