A Year of Magic & Fairy Tales
Grimm Pyrography Journey
Step into the shadows of the enchanted forest. Burn the wolves, witches, and wonders that shaped our oldest tales into wood.
From the haunting forests of Little Red Riding Hood to the twisted riddles of Rumpelstiltskin, from enchanted castles to everyday hearth magic, this year-long pyrography journey will take you deep into the original Brothers Grimm fairy tales, bringing them to life in fire, story, and wood.
This is not the glossy, softened version of fairy tales.
This is where the stories began, raw, dark, symbolic, and brimming with meaning.
And now, through pyrography, you’ll carve these timeless myths into wood, layering them with fire, texture, and color accents.
Join us for a year-long, immersive adventure where fire meets folklore.

Who is your guide?
Hey, I'm Petra
I was born and raised in Germany, where the Brothers Grimm stories were woven into daily life. As a pyrography artist with over 25 years of experience, I’ve spent my life exploring how fire, wood, and story connect us to nature, to myth, and to ourselves.
This journey combines my love of folklore, my German roots, and my lifelong practice of pyrography. Together, we’ll explore the original stories, not the softened versions, and discover how to burn their symbols, lessons, and enchantment into art that lasts.
