Museum of Russian Icons

Instructor: Master iconographer, Vladislav Andrejev. Vladislav has been teaching iconography since 1985, during which time thousands of his students have been introduced to this ancient Christian art. Over the years Vladislavs iconographic technique and teaching method developed into a distinct school of painting and interpretation.

The Museum of Russian Icons is hosting the renowned Prosopon School of Iconology for an intensive six-day course on icon writing. Working with Prosopon faculty, students will study the techniques of painting icons, including preparation of the icon board, application of gold leaf, the floating egg tempera technique, and finishing the icon with linseed oil. Students will use natural materials and the traditional multi-step process to paint their own icons of Archangel Michael. Previous students can make special arrangements with the instructor to paint another subject for their icon workshop. Throughout the course, students will be introduced to iconology, iconic symbolism, and the theological and philosophical basis of each step. No previous artistic experience is required. Tuition includes 36 hours of instruction over six days, as well as all materials. Space is limited, and advance registration is required. Please call (978) 598-5000 x17 to register before July 1. $360 deposit is required to reserve placement in workshop.
