Course description
An icon, reminding of an invisible presence, accompanies us on life's journeys “from cradle to grave,” and on journeys during life. Many have collected smooth, beautiful stones from the seashore on their holidays. In this course, you can paint your own travel icon –or even two– in the traditional way on a small wooden base, and also icons on beautiful stones. This course is best suited for those who have already painted at least a few icons. The subject is optional. Please note that those under 35 years old receive a 40 percent discount on the course price. Instructor: iconographer Alexander Wikström.
