  • I am a pyrography artist. I am self taught but these passed two years I have been perfecting my techniques through the Visual and Performing Arts College on the island of Gozo which is Malta's sister island. The medium I prefer to present my pyrography on is beechwood as it is excellent in obeying the various heated shades that my machine can produce but I always love to pyrography on leather, paper and recycled wood such as drift wood. I work in a very small room in my home and therefore the big pieces, such as clocks and tables, are not possible for me to do but I hope to makes some money in order to buy myself a bigger room not far from my home, so that I will be able to accept large sized commissions.
