Icon Painting Retreat ***FULLY BOOKED***
9th December, 9:30 am to 13th December, 4:30 pm
£910
Join us for this five-day icon painting course with experienced iconographer, Peter Murphy.
The course takes place in the prayerful and meditative atmosphere of one of the oldest and most beautiful retreat houses in England, which has its own medieval chapel. Over the course of the week, students will learn to gild and paint on a specially prepared wooden panel using traditional medieval techniques and materials.
All materials, including gold leaf and pigments, are included in the fee. Each course starts with an Anglican Eucharist, which all course participants are welcome to attend, and there is an opportunity to join in other services if required.
