Prayerful meditation & the ancient technique of creating icons
November 12, 2017 – November 18, 2017
Join renowned instructor Teresa Harrison for a course in the ancient technique of icon writing. This process inspires prayerful meditation, both while creating the art and reflecting on the finished piece. This six-day retreat includes Eucharist, chant, prayer, silence and lively conversation, free time and social hours. Icons will be written in acrylic paint and gold leaf, a medium which resembles traditional egg tempera.
Beginners and experienced iconographers will find this course rewarding. 2017’s icons – to be announced. Limited to 35 participants.
