My name is Katerina Tsibouraki and I am a self-taught pyrographic artist living in Athens, Greece.

I was born on 7th June 1969 in Thessaloniki in Greece. I am a teacher of German Literature and an owner of the AKTO Internal and External Decoration Degree. I have been burning on wood since 1998.

Pyrography is the art of decorating wood or other materials with burn marks resulting from the controlled application of a heated object. It is also known as pokerwork or wood burning.

Pyrography is very versatile because it can create designs on wood, leather, paper, gourds, and other mediums, using heated tools that burn away some of the surface. Every stroke is drawn entirely by hand making each piece of art original and unique.
