FREEHAND was the word for September’s challenge, pushing us to put the pencil down and trust the burner. This proved to be a difficult challenge for many of us! The artist who took it to the next level is…..
Chuck of The Burning Woodchuck
One of my favourite parts of Burn Club is seeing an idea take shape from the very beginning and then grow into a finished piece. Back in an Open Studio, Chuck mentioned wanting to explore Cubism in his work. We got to see that spark before it even touched wood, and now it’s here.
Not only did he dive in and execute the idea in his head, he burned it freehand!!
He’s got confident lines, smooth gradients, and bold crosshatching that makes the burn feel alive, almost in motion. It’s a piece that grabs you from across the room and keeps rewarding you the closer you look, until you can’t help but want to reach out and feel the textures.
Chuck sparks curiosity with thoughtful questions, brings endless creativity to the table, and always shows up with a ridiculously positive attitude. Every time.
We’re so lucky to have this gem of a human in the club!!
To celebrate, Chuck got access to a full year of Burn Club+
