    5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful step by step instructions for beginners!

    The book and instructions are incredibly easy to follow. As someone who is a visual learner and need to be able to see the instruction with pictures breaking everything down this book is perfect!

    The book also provides many projects to do and guides you through each one step-by-step. It'd be pretty difficult to mess up and if you do....only happy mistakes and she's taught you how to make corrections! You've got it covered!

    If you're just starting out like I am, definitely get this book. You'll save yourself a lot of time and won't feel so behind the learning curve.

    Il libro è davvero bellissimo. Per chi è alle prime armi con la pirografia è ottimo. Ma è indicato anche per chi è già pratico e vuole acquisire nuove nozioni e migliorare nei propri lavori.
    Io seguo l’artista sui social ed i suoi lavori sono pazzeschi! Complimenti, ottimo acquisto!

    Excellent book! My husband loved this and found her instructions informative and fairly easy to follow! He's made quite a few creations since he was gifted this book! It's given him the confidence that he needed to be artistic and creative! Beautiful detailed photos and lots of patterns/stencils!

    I love reading this book so much as I’ve just started this as a hobbie. This book talks you through everything you need to know about wood burning & Pyrography. The Arthur explains everything in her book very well & makes it very easy to understand. I am looking forward to getting the next book when she releases a new one.
