Description of session
Come and join us for a fun and relaxed evening with London-based wood artist Darren Appiagyei whose practice centres on revealing the natural character and imperfections of wood.
Darren works primarily with locally sourced and naturally fallen wood collected within five miles of his studio. His process-led approach is rooted in experimentation and sustainability, celebrating the texture, grain, knots, and irregularities of wood while allowing the material itself to guide the making process.
Detail of activity
In this enriching workshop, you will explore pyrography techniques, using heat tools to burn marks, patterns, and textures into wooden surfaces while experimenting with drawing, storytelling, and surface design inspired by the natural world
