    I know it's a bit of short notice, but I've decided to join Cheryl Dow's woodburning shindig in Pennsylvania, this August 3, 4 and 5. I'll be popping down with my good Canadian friends, Barb and Frank Kaminski. I'll be on hand all weekend to chat, give a few seminars and to introduce a couple of new products I'm releasing...yes...including the long awaited first Sue Walters Pyrography Workshop DVD.

    Mainly though, it will be a great chance to meet up with a bunch of keen pyrographers, in what appears will be a jam packed, interest filled, pyrographic feast. And I'm told the setting couldn't be prettier! It should be a wonderful time and I look forward to meeting with as many of you as can make it.

    As mentioned, I'll be giving three seminars, one each day of the show. As usual, I would like to jam as much of my knowledge into the time given, so this is what I plan, (will attempt), to cover: Tips and Tricks; Trouble Shooting; Basic Burning Techniques; Erasing Burning; Computer Use; Pattern Transfer; Burning on Different Materials (Leather, Tagua, Paper, Gourds, etc); Burning on Dark Wood…(Some use of colour); Negative burning and Dremel Work; Torch Work; Fur Burning; Texture; and Carving With a Skew. (Sorry, I won't be able to give structured classes during my time in the States....the seminars are the only lessons I can give.)

    If you would to like to know more information about the show, accommodation, location etc, please contact either Cheryl Dow, Dannie Smith or The Sawmill Theater

    To read more detailed information about the show please visit these web sites: Cheryl Dow's Show Web Page, Dannie Smith's Show Web Page & The Sawmill Website.

    Don't forget to enter something in the Pyrography Competition...well over $2,000 in prize money! (No, I won't be entering, but look forward very much to seeing all of the burnings.:))

    I'll see you there.:)

In around 2 weeks I'll be releasing both the Sue Walters Pyrography Workshop DVD and the Pyrography Lesson Kit #5 - TIGER. Both releases will be announced on my home page at: Sue Walters.com and in the Pyrography Shop.

I'll be providing preview snippets of the DVD and excerpts of the kit, upon release.

Because some of the free downloads are quite large, I've decided to put them on their own download page. That way I won't clutter up your mail box and you can choose only what you want. (Only take what you need please...it helps keep down my download count. Thanks.)

Again, because some of the photo downloads are quite large, I've decided to put them on their own download page. (Please, only take what you need, thanks:)

While I was taking care of my Mum I couldn't get away to burn too much. I did a bit of drawing during this time and I thought some of you might want to have a look. I'm only a beginner and many of the pieces have been left unfinished, but so far I've enjoyed the process very much.
