Description

BEGINNING ICONOGRAPHY LEVEL I INTENSIVE WEEK – students will prayerfully transform a blank gessoed icon board to the Holy Mandylion, or Holy Face of Christ on the Cloth.  This class is open to anyone with no art training required.  Learn to write an icon in the ancient technique of egg tempera, the icon’s history, how to make egg emulsion, mix your own pigments, various methods of painting in the egg tempera medium, brush and line techniques, and gilding with 23.75 kt gold leaf – all offered in a contemplative environment at our studio on the campus of St. Pius X Catholic Church.

You will learn one of the world’s most ancient techniques of painting with historic pigments made from natural earth and ground minerals sourced from Zecchi’s Colori Belle Arti in Florence, Italy, the location of a pigment purveyor since the 1300s. Zecchi’s supplies the Uffizi with the very same pigments we provide you, to conserve the world’s masterpieces.

This special one week intensive course meets Monday through Friday from 8:30am to 5:30pm, August 11-15, 2025.

Register by July 28, 2025.

Class is limited to 10 students.
