William Fosdick born 1858 in Charlestown, Masssachusetts learned about pyrography, when still a boy, thanks to two 'poker-paintings' by Ball Hughes acquired by his father. When he showed interest in how they were done and started experimenting himself, Ball Hughes' widow Eliza (Wright) Ball Hughes invited him to her house in Dorchester, Massachusetts, and instructed him on what she knew about her late husband's technique.

In 1884, he interrupted his studies in Paris to take his first commission for the American architectural firm of McKim, Mead, and White.
