Who We Are

Hello! We are Kez and Phil Halliday.

 

Our passion is to create individual art pieces combining several different materials, techniques and disciplines. The materials we love using the most are metal and wood, we also use techniques such as pyrography, painting and drawing to create detailed and beautiful pieces.

 

We’re also happy to teach you these things as well! We provide lessons on how to use a pyrography pen as well as rotary tools (such as different Dremel products) to allow you to create your own art pieces just as we do!

Founders

Kez Halliday

Co Founder

Kez Halliday is a self-taught artist from Nottingham, UK. She was inspired by Neil Buchanan, Tony Hart, Artbox and Blue Peter. She then went on to study through practical experience, learning through trial and error and self learning, eventually falling in love with tattoo art. She has worked in many areas of art, including painting, sketching, digital art and design, wood carving and scroll saw art.

She found pyrography a few years ago and has combined it with her love of tattoo art to create detailed wood burnings with complex layers of shading which add a unique level of depth to her work.
