Icon Painting Class Now Forming
Many people find themselves drawn to the images of Byzantine iconography which are described as prayer rendered with color. Saint Philip's invites you to learn about this sacred art from a master iconographer who is also our priest. Peter Pearson has been painting icons for nearly forty years, has been teaching for twenty years, and is the author of "A Brush With God: An Icon Workbook," which offers technical, spiritual, and historical information about Byzantine icons specifically geared for Western readers.
Each student will complete an icon to take home. This class is open to beginners; no art background is required. (Limited to 16 participants.)

When: Sept. 13, 20, 27, Oct. 4, 18, 25 (Saturdays), Noon to Three
