London-based wood turner Darren Appiagyei creates work which embraces the intrinsic beauty of the wood, be it a knot, crack, bark or grain. Pyrography is a mark burning technique in which he uses a special tool to very subtly expose the transition of tone in the grain of wood. Maintaining the natural elements of the wood is key and this is visibly expressed through the imperfections of the wood, detail and textures. Pyrographic Vessel 7 is made from Chestnut sourced locally.
