Byzantine iconography is a highly structured and disciplined art form which combines prayer and painting techniques to create serene images of Christ, Mary, the angels and the saints following centuries-old guidelines.
Peter Pearson has been studying and painting icons for nearly 50 years, has authored three books on the subject, has painted hundreds of icons for churches, monasteries, seminaries, convents, and individuals all over the world and has taught hundreds of workshops. Peter’s students number in the thousands and each has walked away with an icon of their very own. No previous experience or natural talent is required. We will paint, pray and follow the simple step-by-step instructions.
St. Brendan’s Episcopal Church in Franklin Park, 2365 McAleer Road, Sewickley, PA 15143 will be hosting an Icon Workshop with Peter Pearson, January 17-20, 2019, in their social hall. Registration fee is $250 and includes all supplies and instruction.
