Pyrography Workshop in the Cotswolds

Discover the joy of pyrography at this cosy class in Lechlade.



6 hours Location Lechlade Class size 1 to 8 guests   £80

You may have already tried Pyrography at home and not been pleased with the results. Join guest tutor Sharon of Maybug Studio for a fun day creating beautiful Pyrography at our beginner friendly workshop.
Sharon will guide you through what to do, what not to do, and the best bit......you don't need to be able to draw! The designs shown in the images are all created by beginners.
At this workshop you will be able to create a beautiful design on a chopping board, perfect as a charcuterie board, or on a beautiful piece of wood. You'll have the opportunity of adding colour and learn how do you enhance your pyrography and take it to the next level.
The easiest thing is to ‘work’ your piece more, better shading giving a better feel of texture and depth and using watercolour pencils or, you could start using pigments and flakes, gold leaf and coloured waxes.
At this workshop, you will:
  • learn which woods to use (and more importantly which not to use)
  • use a changeable wire tip pyrography pen to give a finer, more detailed picture compared to the solid tip style pen
  • explore different techniques, with different tips, to give different effects
  • choose a chopping board or other piece of beautiful wood as a base for your main piece
  • if you wish, you will have the option of adding colour with watercolour pencils, add flakes, pigments or leaf to add colour that changes your design
  • how to prepare the wood and how to finish once your design is complete
There will be plenty of inspiration on the day to help you with your design.

Lechlade Craft Barn
Lechlade Craft Barn

4.6 (14)
female Women-owned

Launched in 2014, Lechlade Craft Barn was created by Karen Holland and is based in an old stone barn at Karen’s Cotswold home in the beautiful market town of Lechlade-on-Thames. Lechlade is on the borders of Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, and Oxfordshire not far from Cirencester, Burford and Swindon. The barn is full of character and inspiration, a perfect environment to get crafty!
Karen wanted to share her passion for crafting with others and starting with just 3 or 4 different workshops the demand for more crafting soon increased. Led by Karen and her team of talented tutors there is a wide range of affordable craft workshops to choose from such as crochet, mosaics, lampshade making, block printing, silversmithing, bookbinding, lino cutting, stained glass, pyrography, silver clay, and much more.
All workshops are aimed at beginners and upwards – whether you’re exploring a craft for the first time or topping up existing skills, each workshop is fun and relaxed. Craft your way to happiness with a craft barn workshop or one of the kits available to make at home.
Crafty Parties are a great way to spend fun time with friends or family celebrating a birthday or hen party. Spend a couple of hours or a whole day, even those non-crafty friends enjoy themselves!
Karen has been making things since a small child. At primary school she made a needle case for the Christmas Bazaar, bought it herself and is still using it 50 years later! Having learned how to knit, crochet, and sew at a young age, Karen was making her own clothes by the age of 11.
We all have busy lives, families and work commitments that all take priority. During the Pandemic we found crafting the perfect boost needed for everyone's wellbeing and we should be giving ourselves a little 'me' time to unwind. What better way to do it than crafting!
You're never too old to learn a new skill. Karen has just taught her mother to crochet at the age of 84!
