Miniature Icon of Christ Pantocrator Workshop

Used in Christian art throughout the ages, miniatures have long been important to the faithful as a deep and personalized aspect of Iconography. In this specialized, weekend icon workshop, the concentration of study will be a miniature icon of Christ, Pantocrator. The Pantocrator Icon of Christ represents Christ as the ruler of the universe, especially in Byzantine church decoration. 

In this workshop students will learn how to prepare a miniature wooden 4x6 size icon board; explore and utilize Byzantine principles of iconographic design; paint the icon with two historically ancient organic paint mediums - egg tempera (earthen mineral pigments) and encaustic medium (Beeswax & pigment). 

Theology of the icon, the history and the concentration of the Jesus prayer used in iconography will be in focus as students write their icons. 

Students will complete a miniature icon painting to take home at the end of this course. Some artistic understanding is helpful. Beginner and intermediate student will be challenged. If you are an advanced student, the instructor will adjust the project accordingly.
