Peter Child Pyrography

Pyrography is a fast growing craft in its own right. For woodworkers, crafters and makers, it can add a whole new dimension to decorating workpieces.


The first Peter Child Pyrography machine was released over 40 years ago and the machine remains a popular choice with crafters worldwide. Now manufactured in Sheffield by Robert Sorby Ltd, The Peter Child Artist's Pyrography Machine is powerful enough to create dense textures and patterns. Its slim, light and comfortable to use pen design also delivers the perfect balance for the finest detail work - making it an ideal choice for the novice too.

Whether you’re etching lifelike detail to a bird carving, adding a textured pattern to your woodturned bowl, or even personalising a wooden shape or box, pyrography can transform ordinary looking projects into beautifully decorated items, quickly and easily.
