Religious icons are a painting of a saint or depicting a scene from sacred texts. Throughout history, they have been used as tools to focus in contemplation or prayer, invoking the presence of that saint into one's home or life. Traditionally, they were ornate, with rich, saturated pigments as well as lots of gold.
Your icon or patron saint can be as classical or as informal as your imagination invites you into. Yes, you can include gold in yours (or lime green or cherry red or....?) and yes, yours will be a wise friend, ready to watch over you, console you, make you laugh, guide you, whatever your heart or soul are needing right now.
Each icon is formed from remnants of eclectic, user-friendly art materials which facilitator Susannah Crolius will provide.
You do not need to be "arty" or "creative" to thoroughly enjoy this playful yet meaningful time. This event is geared toward adults.
