Live Demonstration with John Mydock at VAC Gallery
Join John Mydock on Saturday, January 25th from 11am -1pm.at VAC Gallery in Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. While the demonstration is free to attend, park entrance fees apply.
Mydock’s current passion is “pyrography,” which is the art of burning to create designs on wood or other materials. His freehand art of decorating his wooden vessels is where his past experience meets his current passion and his work excels beyond others in his field. Mydock’s pyrography takes on a life of its own. He incorporates colorful, intricate layers of original designs, which are influenced by Polynesian Tattoo Art, the beauty of Nature and by Visionary Art. Mydock interlaces and weaves these images into a distinctly unique style of pyrography on his wooden vessels. To share his love and talent of this unique art Mydock will demonstrate pyrography techniques on January, 25th from 11am -1pm at the Volcano Art Center Gallery in Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park.
Mydock is a member of Big Island Woodturners, the Hawaiʻi Wood Guild and the American Association of Woodturners. “It’s an absolute pleasure presenting “The Art of Mydock” at VAC”, states Gallery Director, Emily C. Weiss. “This is a wonderful opportunity for serious art collectors to add a one-of-a-kind work to their collection and for art appreciators to be inspired by Mydock’s creative expression.”
