Explore the ancient, prayerful art of iconography in this hands-on workshop with iconographer and spiritual director Sharon Henthorn-Iwane. Rooted in Scripture and centuries of tradition, icon writing is more than art—it’s a spiritual discipline that invites prayer, focus, and connection with God.
Participants will create a personal icon triptych using traditional techniques like gold leaf application, color mixing, and design transfer. No art experience is needed—just a willingness to engage creatively and spiritually. The workshop will close with a time of prayerful reflection.
