The Mystical Icon: a course in gilding and egg tempera painting
Icons are images of the divine and are found in all cultures throughout time. The archetypal stories and characters they represent find a deep reflection in our consciousness and open the doors of our perceptions. Participants work in a quiet atmosphere, developing their own icon and learning the little know techniques of gilding and egg tempera painting, the traditional medium of iconographers. No prior art experience is necessary.
We have limited space so this will be a very small class. Early registration is recommended.
Teacher: Christopher Castle
Dates: January 16th-20th
Time; Ten 3-hour sessions: Monday - Friday. 10am - 4pm.
Place: the studio of Christopher Castle: 1639 Aqua Vista Rd., Richmond, CA 94608
Cost: $900. ($750 if registering before January 9th). Plus $50 materials fee.
Further information will be sent upon registering.
Please call 415 738 9255 for registration.
