Discover the art of pyrography in this beginner-friendly woodburning workshop with Adora Vali f at Blueink Bookstore.

You’ll learn how to create beautiful designs on wood using simple techniques, with guided instruction in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. It’s a wonderful way to slow down, create something with your hands, and try something new.

Many of you already know Adora through the beautiful book keychains, book earrings, and wood-burned characters you’ve admired at Blueink. We’re so happy to have her here to share her craft with our community.

All wood, materials, and tools will be provided, and your registration also includes a drink of your choice from our café.

We’d love to create with you. Spots are limited, so be sure to reserve yours through the link in our bio or by visiting us in store.
