Live Pyrography for Events in Los Angeles
WHAT IS WOOD BURNING?
Live wood burning, also known as pyrography, is the art of burning designs, names or short text directly into wood surfaces using heat. Wood burning is a unique activation, with each hand-done writing carrying subtle variations in tone and texture, giving items a handcrafted and organic quality that feels intentional and enduring.
Which items can be personalized?
Pyrography works best on natural wood surfaces with little coating or finish. The natural grain of the wood enhances each design, ensuring no two pieces are exactly alike. Commonly burned items include:
Wooden cutting boards and serving boards
Wooden ornaments or plaques
Wooden cooking utensils such as spoons
Wooden or cork coasters and other flat wood products used for gifting
Wood Burning is a beautiful option for events that emphasize craftmanship, sustainability or cooking.

Wood burning is a medium paced personalization method. How many items I can personalize per hour varies depending on the designs, the event flow and the amount of guest interaction, but generally I can complete about 20 items per hour.

For pyrography, I prefer to be in a well-ventilated are as the process does create a slight amount of smoke. Additionally, a power outlet is needed in relative proximity to my station. I always bring an extension cord, but it is best to have an outlet nearby. I also need a table and a chair, or a countertop and a bar stool. I usually leave the table design up to the brand and event planner, but I can bring a small tabletop sign with me that explains the activation, if preferred. I can also provide forms for guests to fill in their names and design choice.

Yes! Every live event setup is planned with guest flow in mind. This includes personalization options and recommendations on the number of artists needed based on guest count and event duration. If your event’s volume requires additional artists, I will curate a team and handle the booking process for you.
