Delicate art of gourd pyrography

Carving intricate patterns on a gourd using pyrography art requires laser focus. This Chinese craft is renowned for its high artistic value. Artisans use a soldering iron as a de facto paintbrush to draw diverse patterns on a gourd, which can then be decorated and preserved. #FunChina #Craftsmanship #Heritage | China Plus Culture
