Over 6 days of the Workshop we will provide you with all possible information, guidance and assistance you need to complete the Icon of Christ Pantocrator. You will have a choice of a few different images.

We relay on an ancient images.

“the best teachers are the ancient icons”

We will explain all principles of egg tempera and gold gilding you need to know to paint your first icon. Although we will be taking you through all stages of the process as you never made an icon before all advanced students are welcome as well.

We would like to show you not only all aspects of technique itself. We think it`s very important to learn the tradition and try to understand how Iconography has been growing in the Orthodox tradition. There will be a short introduction.

We hope that our Workshop will be just a beginning of a fascinating journey you will take.
