The Museum of Russian Icons is hosting the renowned Prosopon School of Iconology for an intensive six-day course on icon writing. 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. 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 is $650, which 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 to register. 5 openings remain, registration deadline extended to June 15. $325 deposit is required to reserve placement in workshop.
