Icon Retreat: A Window Into Heaven (Experienced Artists)
-
July 27, 2025 - August 1, 2025Paint a Byzantine-style icon with us! This session is geared toward experienced artists who have painted an icon before. We offer a creative retreat for those who want to learn icon painting, regardless of artistic experience or spiritual background. We will use traditional duck egg tempera pigments and gold leaf on a gessoed wooden board panel. The icon will be fully completed about one month after the retreat when we gather to “anoint” and seal it with traditional oils. The retreat includes time for instruction in the tradition and meaning of icon writing, creation of the icon, personal reflection, daily Mass, prayer, and fellowship. Bring your creativity, an open mind, and a willingness to let the Spirit move!
The cost is $600 per person, and registration is required (online, in person, or by mail). Includes overnight accommodations, meals, and all necessary art supplies to create your icon.
A $150 deposit is due with registration. The balance is due by June 20, 2025, so art supplies may be purchased before your arrival. Questions? Give us a call at 330.896.2315.
