Phoenix Burn Week – Turn Frustration into Realistic Pyrography (in Just 5 Days)
Discover the joy of creating realistic pyrography — with calm, clarity, and connection.
5 Days. 5 Lessons. One Confident Artist.
Starts October 24th
If you’ve ever stared at your latest burn and thought:
“Why does mine look flat?”
“How do people get that soft fur?”
“I just wish I could control my pen better…”
Then Phoenix Burn Week is for you.
This isn’t another intimidating art challenge - it’s a gentle, guided journey that helps you finally understand what makes realistic pyrography come to life.
Over five relaxed, live lessons, I’ll walk you through tonal values, pen pressure, and creating lifelike texture - all while keeping things calm, clear, and confidence-boosting.
And you won’t be doing it alone. You’ll have a whole circle of creative women right beside you learning, laughing, and burning together.
✨Last time we ran an event like this, dozens of artists said it was the first time they truly felt confident holding their pen again. You don’t have to do this alone.
✨ What You’ll Learn During Burn Week
Each day builds on the last, guiding you through small, achievable wins that self belief and real skill.
You’ll finish the week with real progress, and the wonderful realisation that yes, you can create beautiful, realistic art.
Day 1: Eye Study
The leopard’s eye. You’ll learn how to create depth, realism
Day Two: Kitten Paws

Day Three: Dogs Ear

Day Four: Full mini Portrait

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What if I don't have the same pen or tips as you?
You can use your favourite pen or tip, you certainly don't have to use the same as me.
What materials do I need?
Your burner, a flat piece of wood, and your usual nibs. I’ll send a full supply list and printable workbook once you join.
Do I need to have the exact same tools as you?
No, you do not need to have the same tool, nibs, and pencils as me. Please use what you have available to you.
Can I use any type of wood for pyrography?
Soft woods like basswood, birch, and poplar are ideal. Avoid resinous or chemically treated woods, as they can produce toxic fumes or damage your tools.
What if I can’t attend live?
No problem — all sessions are recorded and available for 14 days.
What if I make mistakes?
Mistakes are part of the process! We’ll teach you how to fix common errors or creatively work around them. Pyrography is very forgiving with the right guidance.
Is this part of the Phoenix Membership?
It’s a warm-up event! After Burn Week, you’ll get the chance to continue your journey inside the Phoenix Membership if you’d like — but there’s no pressure.
