About

I’m Chantal and I’m the artist behind Shinycraft. I have been running my creative business since 2013, and have been practising the art of Pyrography since 2017.  My work is largely inspired by nature, witchcraft and my love of all things spooky! I create a variety of woodburning products and artworks from my home in Leeds, England. 

In 2024 I was chosen from 1000’s of applicants to be a featured artist on the BBC television show Make it at Market! Filming took place in the summer and the show aired in March 2025. It is a wonderfully wholesome show, hosted by Dom Chinea of Repair Shop fame, which helps makers and artists build their businesses. You can watch episodes on BBC IPlayer and in the future Britbox internationally. I am featured on series 3, episode 13. 

I have worked hard to build up a good follower count on my social media channels and this has led to some very exciting opportunities. In 2023 I worked with Disney studios U.K. on a social media campaign to promote their Haunted Mansion Movie! A definite highlight of my career so far! 

I am currently involved in an amazing collaboration project called Kitchen from around the World, where Pyrography artists from all over the world are involved in creating artworks to be used in a kitchen renovation project. You can follow our journey on Instagram and Facebook @pushinfirellc

I hope you find something you love in my shop, but if you have anything in mind you’d like creating especially for you, feel free to message or email anytime.
