Testimonials

''Edinburgh School of Icon painting is a friendly, welcoming haven of calm in which to learn a truly unique and historical art form.  Every student is made to feel welcome regardless of religious/spiritual backgrounds.  Basia tailors tutoring to each individual from beginning traditional icon painting to developing contemporary pieces. Not many other art courses or schools have allowed me to develop my skills so quickly and provided me with the confidence to progress.  I'm glad I discovered Edinburgh School of Icon painting - the only qualified traditional icon painting tuition in the Scotland.'' Anne-Marie Martin

''After several weekend workshops with Basia, I have progressed from apprehensive novice to dedicated enthusiast and can now independently resource and prepare my own icon boards, make up my own gesso, sketch preliminary drawings, some from prototypes, others my own adaptations. Always encouraging yet prepared to offer positive criticism and restorative support when I lose my way, Basia's professional skills as artist, teacher and her natural warmth as fellow human have always come to my rescue. Now on my fourth icon I look forward to continuing this wonderful journey of self discovery, solace and delight. My regular pilgrimage from Northern Ireland to Edinburgh Icon School is well and truly rewarded! I urge others to join us.'' Mary Fitzpatrick, Belfast
