Course description

As a reminder of the presence of the invisible, the icon accompanies life's journeys "from cradle to grave", and on journeys throughout life.   Many have collected smooth, beautiful stones from the seaside on their vacations.   In this course, you can paint your own travel icon - or a couple - on a small wooden base in the traditional way, and also icons on beautiful stones.   The course is best suited for those who have already painted at least a few icons.   The topic is optional.   Please note that those under 35 years of age receive a 40 percent discount on the course price.   The teacher is iconographer Alexander Wikström.

The Epass mobile application is used as a payment method for this course.
