Father's Day Wood Burning Cheeseboard Workshop

A unique and creative activity on Father's Day weekend! Invite Dad to learn the art of wood burning by combining heat and wood to create your own textural design. You will create a unique and personalised cheeseboard. Or make a special gift to give Dad on Father's Day.

Serve your next guests with a wooden cheeseboard with your own design, or create a thoughtful personalised cheeseboard as a special gift. Bring ideas, images or sketches of your own design or use a stencil to trace for inspiration. You don’t need to be an Artist to create a beautiful design. You will draw or trace your design on the wood before burning it. Learn about safety and techniques when using a wood burning tool before tracing your design. Finish your piece by sealing the wood with food grade oil. Metal handles and rubber feet are added for the finishing touch.

Maria hand-picks and cuts all the raw wood for her cheeseboard classes. Picking durable woods, perfect for wood burning and a blank canvas for your design. All tools and materials are provided to create your own wooden cheeseboard.
