St. Margaret's House Open Studios

Please come to the Open Studios and Christmas Fair at St Margaret's House this weekend.

Edinburgh School of Icon Painting is based in the building and is opening the studio for many people to have a look at the icon, chat and perhaps even try some painting.
There will be egg yolk medium and some pigments ready so you can come and mix some colours. Make your own paints.

If you are not sure what icon painting is or if you would like it this is a perfect opportunity to give it a try.

There will be also few very small icons on the Christmas Market for sale. This takes place in a Gallery 2 on the 3rd floor of the building.

Icon painting in Sardinia, Italy

23-29 March 2015

Exciting opportunity to spent a week in beautiful Sardinia painting icons. Whether you are a beginner or you have done some icon painting before you will enjoy it. We will work in a relaxing atmosphere, trying to understand the technique of egg tempera. We will learn the tradition of icon and enjoy it's peacefulness.
Working in lovely surroundings, close to nature is a perfect setting for this special art. We will not only have a chance to create something unusual but also spent some time away from every day troubles.

Participants will be able to complete one icon. The image is to be chosen by you so get in touch before if you need help with finding the one for you.

We will be set in Locanda Minerva in the village called Villanova Monteleone close to Alghero. See the website or facebook page:
