Fire Drawing Workshop and Fire Performance with Arta at your Location in Portugal

During Arta's "Fire Drawing Workshop and Fire Performance at your Location in Portugal, you learn several techniques of how to use the element fire to make your own beautiful, natural drawings.

At Your Location means that Arta can come to your private home, to your hotel, guesthouse or office. 

First, you learn a wood-burning technique using matches and candles:
A hazy, nuanced visual effect can be achieved by the symbiosis of the flame and organic surface. 

Then, a second technique is carried out by using a pyrograph, a wood burning tool that allows to draw on wooden surfaces. This tool is a pen-like device with a metal end.

Various textures and patterns can be created, leaving dark brown marks on the surface. All materials for the workshop are provided such as candles, matches, a plywood panel, a pyrography tool, and tape.

After the Fire Drawing Workshop part, Arta will give you a fire performance.

During the performance, she uses several fire props such as a fire poi and fire fans, to 'juggle' by creating a spinning motion, a sort of dance with the wild element.
