We're going to look at how to achieve these various textures with different nibs and woodburning techniques while growing your pyro skills and tapping into your creativity.
This will be helpful for those who want to expand their Pyro Toolbox skills, those who want to try new things with guidance, and those who want fresh new ideas and inspo to jazz up their art.
This class is NOT about learning the basics of woodburning or the art principles behind textures. This is a Skillbuilder where we are focusing on ONE specific skill, and this time it's textures.
This workshop is for you if:
- You want to learn how to do all kinds of textures
- You want someone to teach you the basics of textures

- You want to try something new!

Renée Foskett Wilson, Pyrographer + Art Educator
HEYO!
I'm Renée- a fun and silly mixed-media pyrography artist, art educator, and small business entrepreneur.
I'm here to teach you no-fluff, high-touch, in-depth workshops that take you through the nitty-gritty details in an authentic way to help you explore, learn, and grow as an artist.
I teach as if we're sitting together and having a conversation. I keep it raw and real. No gatekeeping. No secrets. If I don't know the answer then I'll help you find the answer.
Subjects and topics are approachable, easy to understand, juicy, and specific. We go step by step, building block by building block. I make jokes and TikTok references and laugh and make learning fun.
I deliver information that actually answers your questions.
So jump on in. I'd love to lead you through this woodburning workshop, step by step.
1: We're going to make a texture board.
This way you'll have all of your textures side-by-side on a piece of wood you can keep handy off to the side for quick reference.2: We're growing your texture skills.
Textures are unlimited. The things you can do with them are also unlimited. In this Skillbuilder, we're focused on expanding our texture capabilities. We're trying new things, looking at textures in new ways, and brewing ideas for how we can implement these new textures into our own art practice.
3: We're going to be using a blade-like nib, a rounded point nib, and "universal" type nibs.
You don't need anything fancy. Just bring your burner and whatever nibs you already have, We'll play with them in cool new ways you may have never thought of before.
4: We're going to pull inspiration from Pinterest and Unsplash.
One of the best ways to try new textures is to find them out in the wild and then mimic them. Look at reference pictures to see what textures are present and combine that with textures you know how to make to get fresh new textures that are inspired by what you actually see.
5: You'll learn about what textures I personally love to use and why I love them.
Sometimes it's helpful to see what other people are doing and hear what they like/don't like. I'll be sharing my own thoughts and opinions about different textures, and I'll give you ideas on how to implement them in your art.
