Pyrography--Have The Vision

There are many different styles of woodburning. Kansas artist, Jo Schwartz, has mastered the technique of pyrography, burned wood art. Some of her work is done in Pointillism, which she refers to as “dot, dot, dot.” Jo says she actually sees dots in potential photos that she wants to burn. Jo recycles scraps of wood that would normally be tossed out, for her “canvas.” She hand cuts and sands each piece. The burns can take anywhere from two hours to two weeks to complete, depending on subject, details and size. To complete the artwork, up to seven layers of lacquer are applied, with additional hand sanding between coats. Have The Vision measures 5"x7"
