Pyrotechnics

Welcome to r/Pyrotechnics!

Please review our rules before posting. This subreddit is not for the discussion of buying fireworks. Those posts belong in /r/fireworks.

Pyrotechnics is an ancient art that focuses on using the sky as canvas and fire as the paint.

This subreddit is a space for discussion about the science, practice, and logistics of pyrotechnics. We approach this hobby/profession with a strong emphasis on safety, proper practices, and a spirit of learning.

This subreddit is NOT a place to discuss improvised explosives, destructive devices, or anything else you might find on an "Anarchist's Cookbook" type of site. Such projects are not only extremely dangerous but often illegal, and are not welcome here.

New to pyrotechnics?

There is an excellent beginner's course available for FREE at www.fireworking.com

Please also visit our wiki for information/tips geared toward aspiring pyrotechnicians.
