Join Crystal of Mosstangle Arts for a spirited winter workshop at The Stoat – Granite Falls' favorite dog-friendly bar. Create lasting memories while you immerse yourself in the art of pyrography and water color painting in this laid-back and cozy setting.
What to Expect:
In this 2-hour class, Crystal will guide you through the fascinating world of wood burning a mountain design onto an alder round. You'll learn to use a professional wood burning tool, coordinating hand movements for burn lines, shading, and texture. Dive into step-by-step guidance on designing your own landscape focusing on trees, mountains and other elements. Following the wood burning, you will learn how to add watercolor paints, transforming your creation into a vibrant, colorful masterpiece.
No drawing skills required - templates will be provided for those who prefer a little guidance.
Unleash Your Creativity:
This class is designed to be relaxed and fun -- free from the pressure of perfection. Crystal believes there are no "mistakes" in art, and encourages you to let go of worries and enjoy the tactile, meditative, and empowering nature of pyrography. Crystal will also encourage you to discover your unique "style" of wood burning, fostering your creative journey.
You'll also learn about wood burning safety, finishes, and wood art aftercare.
