Pyrography

Pyrography - Pyrogravure - Pyrographic

 

Pyrography is an art form that involves using heat to create intricate designs and patterns on wood or other materials. The word "pyrography" comes from the Greek words "pyro" (fire) and "graphos" (writing), reflecting the technique of using controlled heat to burn or scorch the surface of the material. Artists use specialized tools, such as a heated metal pen or soldering iron, to create various shades and textures by controlling the temperature and pressure applied to the surface. Pyrography can be used to create detailed images, lettering, and decorative designs. It is often applied to wood, but it can also be used on leather, gourds, paper, and other materials.
