A Brush with God: An Icon Workshop
February 13, 2025 - February 15, 2025
THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 13-15, 2025
FACILITATED BY PETER PEARSON
Byzantine Iconography is a highly structured and disciplined art form which combines prayer and painting techniques to create serene images of Christ, Mary, the angels and the saints following centuries old guidelines. Peter Pearson has been studying and painting icons for more than fifty years and teaching others to do so for over half that time. He’s authored three books on the subject and has painted hundreds of icons for churches, monasteries, seminaries, convents, and individuals all over the world. No previous experience or natural talent is required. We paint, pray, and follow the simple step-by-step instructions. Participants will be invited to envision and paint an icon image of Christ. Peter will also offer a Cathedral Commons forum Wednesday, February 12 at 6:45 p.m., free and open to all, and he will preach at Saint Mark’s Cathedral on Sunday, February 16.
Limited to 20 participants; registration required. Fee: $450, includes all supplies and selected meals across the 3-day workshop. Partial scholarships are available.
