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 (see the color image on the right).
Fee: $450, includes all supplies and snacks and selected meals across the three days (two evenings, and Saturday). Class size is limited and just a few spots remain; first come, first served.
Learn more here, including other offerings by Fr. Pearson during his time here. Register using this form. Deadline to register: February 1.
