Genre: CRAFTS & HOBBIES / GeneralThe term pyrography has its origin in Greek, and it means pur graphos (fire writing), and it has been in existence since man discovered fire. Evidence of ancient men practicing this beautiful art can be found on the walls of caves and other structures. Writings, drawings, and other messages were inscribed and drawn on wood, walls, leathers, gourds, and other surfaces to pass messages, honor gods or to beautify the environment. Going back to the times of the ancient African men, the Egyptians, and in Asia, there are quite a lot of pyrography artifacts which points to the skills and ability shown by craftsman during those times. This art was commonly known as fire needle writing or drawing then. This process gave the artisans and avenue through which they got to showcase their skills and bring the most common objects to life.
