In the long and beautiful tradition of Iconography as a way to deepen ones faith, this course will give the student a taste of this rich practice. Through prayer and traditional technique, using one of the oldest mediums of paint-egg tempera, we will take the student step by step through the making of this icon of Saint Anna and the Theotokos.  You don’t need experience painting as there will be instruction and help if the student needs it. 

Pigments, boards, brushes, rulers, pencils, erasers, lights, palettes, wash jars, etc. . .  will be supplied for students to use, but you are welcome to bring whatever supplies you prefer from home. Its suggested you wear clothes to get paint on or an apron. If you have icons you wish to varnish-bring them and we will varnish them while we conduct the class.

Saturday Vespers is open to all after the Saturday classes, right next door.  All are welcome.

When: This will be a three day class Friday/ Saturday and the following Saturday in Oct  25/6 and Nov. 2. 10-4pm all days. We ask that you bring your own lunch for all days.
