A Benedictine Monastery
This intensive icon painting workshop will provide an opportunity to experience the process of icon painting. Participants will learn traditional iconographic techniques, working with egg tempera on gesso and the Byzantine four-color (tetrachrome) palette. This practical instruction will be combined with theoretical instruction in the history of iconography, iconographic composition, and the theology of icons. Each participant will work on an icon and will take home the completed icon. No experience is necessary. All supplies and materials will be provided by the instructor.
Presenter: Victoria Brennan, Ph.D.
