Ever wondered what makes an icon more than just a painting? Icons speak a unique visual language, steeped in theology, spirituality, and beauty. Come learn that language firsthand in this introductory icon workshop, where you will paint your own icon under the guidance of a seasoned iconographer.
Throughout the week, you’ll explore how icons draw us into prayer, connect us with the saints, and invite us to grow in holiness. You’ll discover how these holy images—rooted in Scripture and the Tradition of the Church—help us recognize God’s presence in our own lives.
The workshop will run Sunday, April 26 (12:00-3:00 p.m.) and Monday, April 27 – Friday May 1, 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m, at St Thomas Medina. In-person attendance will be required for the full week to complete the icon.
The $550 cost will cover all materials—boards, paints, brushes, gold leaf, and other supplies—so you don’t need to bring anything but yourself. Scholarships are available.
