Meets Monday through Friday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. and Saturday, 9-10 a.m.
Both a meaningful prayer practice and a technical art form, iconography traces its history to the beginning of Christianity. Icons are often referred to as “windows into heaven” and continue to be venerated by Orthodox Christians and others. Noted American iconographer Phil Zimmerman will guide participants step-by-step through the process of “writing” or painting an icon in the Byzantine style, following ancient guidelines and techniques while using modern artist’s materials (acrylic paints, gessoed board, gold leaf). All materials and supplies are included. By the end of the week, students will have a beautifully completed icon varnished and ready to display.
Instructor: Phil Zimmerman
Beginner and advanced students are welcome.
While previous iconography experience is not necessary, it is helpful to have a basic understanding of painting and color mixing.
(Please note: Class may extend into the evening hours on Friday for varnishing)
Overnight guests may check in Sunday evening (5-7 p.m.).
Investment:
Commuter: $575, includes lunch and dinner Monday through Friday and all supplies
Full: $700, includes private bedroom Sunday through Friday nights, all meals and all supplies
