Meet Petra, Your Guide by the Fire

I’ve been burning for 25+ years, and in that time, I’ve made all the mistakes so you don’t have to.

When I started, I had no clear path, no one to show me how to get better, and a whole lot of ruined wood. I know exactly what it feels like to…

  • Stare at a blank piece of wood and not know what to do next

  • Worry about messing up before you even start

  • Wonder if you’re “good enough” to keep going

That’s why I created Pyrography Academy: a space where you don’t have to figure it all out alone. Here, you’ll get the step-by-step guidance, practical patterns, and encouragement to grow your skills and your confidence, without the overwhelm.

Patterns That Teach, Not Just Trace

Every pattern is built to teach you a new skill: textures, shading, detail work, and beyond. They’re beginner-friendly but still leave you with finished art you’ll be proud to display or gift.

Patterns, Guides & Creative Tools for Every Burner.

Great for weekend projects, market sellers, or anyone who wants fresh designs at their fingertips.

Stop staring at blank wood and wondering if you’re doing it right. Start creating work you’re proud of, without the confusion and the overwhelm.

Every week, I share pyrography tips, tutorials, and behind-the-scenes videos on YouTube to support your creative journey. Whether you’re a beginner or deep in the craft, you’ll find inspiration, encouragement, and practical techniques to help you burn with confidence.
