WOOD BURNING

Monday, June 5

With Chris Discenza

Chris DiScenza is a scientist and artist formerly based in Gainesville, FL. During the pandemic, he began using his background in science to experiment with the art of wood burning. 

Chris started a brand called Turbulent Cascade to teach community members how to use high voltage wood burning devices to add beauty and design to typical items like knives, earrings, planters and more. Recently, Chris moved out of Gainesville -- he currently teaches math at the University of Michigan and researches nonlinear wave equations. His latest art focuses on pieces that highlight turbulence using lasers.

Chris is passionate about sharing the skill of wood burning. In fact, he’s so passionate that he’s driving all the way from Michigan to teach our first Skill Share Session of the summer!
