About the Wood Butchers Collective
At the burning of Pauper’s Ballroom, Burning Man 2019
It all started when…
Scribble and Pedro decided they enjoyed making whimsical stuff with wood and bringing it to Burning Man. Since that magical moment in 2019, members of the collective have brought numerous art pieces to the playa and the number of artists and builders has grown into a large community operating out of Northern California.
This year, we are working on “Kalos - A Kaleidoscopic Portal”.
Past projects of the Wood Butchers include:
“Portal of Perception - The Doorway to Everything” - 2023
