CHILDREN'S SACRED ART  WORKSHOP

​

This season I cannot wait to pull out my pure powder pigments and wash a few panels with genuine gesso to prepare for this simple sacred art class for children.  I am offering workshops in two locations this year.  In Front Royal, Our artwork will be completed in a single two hour session from start to finish.  In Minneapolis, we will meet after school for one week.  In both locations, We will first study some beautiful icons and sacred art and then create our own sacred artwork from authentic traditional materials.  Because of the delicate nature of materials in this study, classes will be limited in size.  Please see the schedule on the workshop details page for available session times and age groups.
