Join Beatrice Institute as we discover the art and prayer of icon writing on February 4th, 2023. As we do so, creating a reminder to pray that can be placed in our everyday living space.  Each participant will come home with their own 5X7” glass icon.

Iconography has a long-standing tradition in Christianity of providing a “window to heaven,” both a sacred presence and a reminder to pray.  Though traditionally associated with egg tempera paint on wood, a long process that takes at least a week for a small icon, icons have also been painted in egg on glass, especially in Romania and Eastern Europe during the 19th and 20th centuries.  This was done in family workshops by what we would consider “folk artists,” and so creates an easier tradition to dip into for a 3-hour workshop.

This Workshop is geared towards adults, but mature children can participate with their parents. 

If you're not sure if this is for you, you can click here to learn more about Randi and her process. Additionally, you can find a brief introduction to icons and Randi's work at this WQED youtube link.

This event is open to the public for $7—cost of materials. You can purchase a ticket here:
