Icons are known as “windows to the sacred.” During this four-day retreat, participants will paint or “write” a traditional icon of Archangel Gabriel on a wooden board (11×15 inches). The icon will be gilded with technical gold leaf. Each participant will receive a board with an outline previously drawn on it. Iconographer Drazen Dupor will offer step by step instructions within the timeframe of the retreat. No prior experience in iconography is needed.Dates and Details
