Heidi Shove reviewed: Learn pyrography - The art of drawing with fire

"Great Course, Lee was so friendly and super knowledgeable and talented. Course included so many different wood types to try and also the use of a blowtorch as a different means of marking the timber. The course surpassed expectations, came away with some great pieces. "

Lee Borthwick responded:

"Thank you Heidi, delighted you both enjoyed the class and got so much from it. I hope the course inspired you to take up Pyrography at home (and to buy a blow torch). "

Janet reviewed: Learn pyrography - The art of drawing with fire

"I really enjoyed this pyrography class. We first used a variety of different nibs on assorted materials, then transferred a design on to wood using carbon paper and burned our first design. My favourite part was when we used a blowtorch to create an image using negative space. Lee was very patient and encouraging, and I would definitely recommend this class."

Lee Borthwick responded:

"Thank you Janet, so glad you enjoyed the class! All the best on your woodworking journey."

Pippa reviewed: Learn pyrography - The art of drawing with fire

"We organised this event for my mum's 85th birthday. She had got a pyrography pen but lacked confidence. My sisters and I along with my mum had a wonderful time with Lee. Mum is blind in one eye but with Lee’s patience, mum did follow instructions well and we all ended up with nice pieces to bring home. Whether you are a complete novice like we were you will have a fantastic experience. Highly recommended. Thanks for a lovely workshop. Also thank you for the wall hanging I purchased - it looks fab on my wall at home and a lovely memory of the day. Pippa"
