Craftopia: Wood Burning Open Studio @ Craftopia
Sep 29 @ 5:00 pm

It’s getting hot in here, so come and burn some wood. Our wood burning open studio session is relatively unstructured time to play around with our pyrography machines. We will start with a quick tutorial of how to use the machines, the different tips, and good techniques, as well as some safety information. Then we will set you free with your wood to let your imagine run wild. Instructors will be on hand to answer questions and help out the entire time, but what you create will be up to you. For safety, this class is ages 16+. Under 16 may attend with prior approval.
