February 13 – 15
$495 Fee
Icons have served since the earliest days of Christianity as spiritual aids, and they have enjoyed something of a renaissance of spiritual purpose in recent times. 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, a Franciscan, has been studying and painting icons for more than fifty years and teaching others to do so for over half that time. No previous experience or natural talent is required. Paint, pray, and follow the contemplative process, step by step, guided by Peter. Participants will be invited to envision and paint an icon image of Christ (guided by a prototype of Peter’s).
Fee: $495, includes all supplies and snacks and selected meals across the 3-days (two evenings, and Saturday). Scholarships available. Class size is limited to 20, and a few spots remain.
6:30p to 9p on Feb 13th and 14th; 9a to 4p on Feb 15th
