The Art of Writing with Fire
A.K.A. "Pyrography"
Campfire smell, sweet like incense...
We've always loved the simple, extravagant beauty of natural materials.
Madeline stumbled into pyrography, seemingly by chance. Years later, it revealed itself as the ideal medium to join her love of art with Sean's passion for guitars.
We scorch brilliantly designed artwork into wood, and finish with penetrating oil to protect the wood while bringing out its natural beauty and resonance.
Your Vision in Art and Sound...
Great art comes through great relationships. No artist - visual or musical - ever became anything without an audience. At Aisling, we take pride in coming alongside fellow musician+artists to craft One of a Kind Art Guitars. It's no easy task, but we love the journey.
1 - Contact Us
When you reach out to us, you initiate a collaborative adventure where we take your vision - your Aisling - and craft it into a guitar that suits your music both in sound and in vision. For that reason, we greatly value communication. We want to hear your music and your visual ideas. That said, our specialties are design and gear...so don't feel like you need to know exactly what you want. That's why you come to us!
2- Rough Sketches
Before any commitment is made, let's make sure that we work well together. The best way to do this is to put our ideas to paper. At this point, we'll take our talk and Madeline will create a few rough ideas to help you visualize your guitar.
3 - Commission Your Guitar
When we've agreed on an art direction, and you decide to hire us, we'll get down to real business. We intentionally do not publish our prices.
