Icon Workshop

About the Event

This annual icon workshop is one of our most popular offerings. Using traditional materials of egg tempera and gold leaf on gessoed panels, students in this workshop use techniques developed at the end of the Iconoclast period (before the year 1000 A.D.), to reveal, through a gradual, step-by-step process, face gradually emerging, glowing with an internal light. In this class, artistic experience and painting skills are not prerequisites. As our instructor takes you through each step in the process, a willingness trust that process are much more important. In fact, in this prayer activity, one is said to be “writing,” rather than “painting” the icon.

The 2025 workshop begins Sunday evening, July 27, and continues through midday on Friday, August 1. Additional details including registration, costs, and more are available here.
