DESCRIPTION:

Enter the contemplative world of Christian iconography in this immersive workshop that brings sacred art to life. Rooted in centuries of spiritual tradition, icon painting is not simply an artistic practice—it is a meditative process that connects the painter with the divine.

Guided by a trained iconographer, you’ll learn about the history and symbolism of icons, explore traditional techniques using natural pigments, and experiment with the delicate application of gold leaf. Whether you're familiar with religious art or completely new to the form, this workshop offers a profound and peaceful experience of artistic devotion.

 

PRICE INCLUDES:

• Introduction to iconography in Christian art and liturgical context

• Hands-on painting session with instruction in traditional methods

• Use of natural pigments, brushes, wood panels, and gold leaf

• Your finished icon to take home (or continue working on in future sessions)

 

DON’T FORGET:

• Wear comfortable clothes (we’ll provide aprons for painting)

• This workshop is best for participants aged 16+

• No artistic background needed—only focus and respect for the process

 

OUR TIPS:

• Take your time—iconography is slow and intentional

• Ask about the meaning behind specific colors and gestures in icon painting

• The atmosphere is calm and quiet—come ready for reflection as well as creation
