“From day one, Minisa has been a huge inspiration to me! Her teaching style is incredible—she dives deep into every project, breaking it down with such clarity, focusing on the details, techniques, textures, and shades, making everything so clear and easy to grasp. No matter how intricate the project, her finished pieces always surpass the reference photos. Thanks to Minisa’s guidance, I’ve seen tremendous growth in my skills as a pyrographer and now feel confident tackling new and more complex projects. Thank you, Minisa! You're an outstanding artist and teacher!” -Mina T.
“Minisa's teaching is so informative and easy to follow. I have been woodburning signs and simple designs since 2015, but I desired to learn more. I stumbled upon Minisa's YouTube page and watched a few videos. When I caught her live stream in 2022, I was hooked. Since discovering Minisa, I have learned how to break apart each image and make it come alive with tips and points Minisa teaches. My artistic ability is growing every day. I look forward to the live stream sessions every week.” -Lisa H.
“I cannot recommend Minisa enough - my woodburning has improved so much since I started receiving instruction from her via her books and livestream! Not only is her instruction excellent, but we are able to ask her questions as we go along - highly recommend to anyone interested in woodburning from beginner to advanced!” -Barbara L.
“Come join Minisa, you won't regret it! I've only burned a couple small things that I gave as gifts and sold two!! But, just by watching Minisa's livestreams, I've learned so much more about wood burning than I ever thought possible. She's very knowledgeable about her craft and so eager to share her knowledge with others and answers all of our questions. The livestreams are very informative, and we've grown as a "burn family" there as well. Now that we've moved and are more settled, my art room is almost complete and I can't wait to sit down and try my hand at burns I've been looking forward to doing after learning more and more from Minisa.” -Terri M.
“Her teaching skills far surpassed anyone else I have watched. My journey in woodburning began with just a few small line burns. I didn't think I could do anything else, but one day I was watching a YouTube video with Minisa in it. She caught my eye because she was taking her time to explain how to shade and blend areas to make the burn look more natural. She was so clear in what she was doing that I found it easy to follow. From the simplest burn to the most intricate, she made the burn come to life in a way I never thought possible. I learned more from her live streams. She answers any question that is asked and makes woodburning fun and exciting. Thanks to Minisa, my skills have improved greatly and I'm learning to do animal portraits now. Thank you, Minisa, for being such a great teacher and inspirationist.” -Helen D.
