Essentials of Iconography with Marek Czarnecki

Thu May 22 , 9 am – 9 pm

Hosted by St. Edmund's Sacred Art Institute
Details Join us for an Iconography workshop with one of the country’s most talented Iconographers. Throughout this workshop Marek guides you through the foundations for writing an icon. Understanding that simplicity can be very deep but not always easy, through this workshop you will discover and deepen your knowledge of painting an icon using a historical process and traditional materials.
You will learn and refine the method of mixing egg yolk with clay and mineral pigments to create a durable paint, that you will then apply to a primed wood panel. Building with steps of lighter colors, you will gradually manifest the luminous face of a saint. Iconography manifests the soul shining through a human portrait. Your subject for this workshop is the transfigured human face, taken from historical Eastern Orthodox and contemporary models.
This week-long workshop’s studio time lasts five consecutive days. Check in begins Sunday night at 4:30. Dinner is served at 5:30 pm for students and instructors. Dinner is followed by a workshop introduction and conference, which ends at 9:00 pm. Hands-on instruction begins early Monday morning. The entire workshop ends Friday at 1 PM.
