Artists

Sarah Bell is an artist set in the Staffordshire Moorlands, she creates pyrography jewellery inspired by Norse mythology and nature. She originally started off with glasswork but couldn't find the time to complete it anymore, so she shifted her focus onto pyrography and ended up enjoying the work as it was convenient as she could stop and start at any time. She rarely plans out her pieces unless she is doing a commissioned piece and tends to go with what she feels like suits the piece she is doing.

 I love the style of her pieces and would really like to try smaller scale pyrography as I could get much more detail in to my pieces- unlike my wooden book experimentation it was on a rather large scale and I could sadly not complete it because of how time consuming such a big piece was to do pyrography.

Michelle Loa Kum is an Australian born artist now based in London, who uses mixed media with pyrography mixing gold leaf along with liquid graphite along with her paints help give her pieces a warm nostalgic feeling to her work, and she uses her work to help explore her Australian with Chinese-Mauritian heritage. 

I enjoyed looking at her pieces because they do contrast the style of Sarah Bells artwork as hers is on a larger scale but with much less detail in regards to how much of the wood is burnt, and I love her use of colours as it gives off a calm and warm feeling. I would like to incorporate faint colours into my pieces inspired by Michelle Loa Kum's pieces.
