Prayerful Meditations and Ancient Techniques of Creating Icon: Icon Writing with Teresa Harrison
When: October 12-13, 2023 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Registration Fee: $230–includes all art supplies and guidance, as well as lunch, and snacks.
We welcome Teresa Harrison to St. Peter’s to lead a course in the ancient technique of icon writing. This process inspires prayerful meditation while creating the art and reflecting on the finished piece. Participants will work on a new piece, Christ of Sinai, based upon what is thought to be the oldest Byzantine icon in existence.
The two-day retreat includes Eucharist, chant, prayer, silence, lively conversation, and free time. Icons will be written in acrylic paint and gold leaf, a medium that resembles traditional egg tempera. Beginners and experienced iconographers will find this course rewarding. The course is limited to 20 people.
