If you like history, religion, and art, this is your course! We will paint an icon with egg tempera technique and genuine natural pigments. No prior knowledge or skills are required. You can join even if you have painted before. The course is suitable for 14–20-year-olds. Kata has taught a youth icon group in Espoo since 2015. The course price includes paints and brushes, as well as one panel. The instructor is icon painter Katarina Koskivaara-Ilmonen. The course receives support from the Orthodox Church of Finland. Attention grandmas and godparents: this course is a nice and different gift idea for a young person! The course instruction begins on June 28, with accommodation for the preceding night included in the course price; any meals on June 27 are paid at normal prices at Trapesa. The course is specially priced, and no other discounts are granted. The language of instruction is Finnish.

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

Teacher

Koskivaara-Ilmonen Katarina

I am Katarina Koskivaara-Ilmonen, an icon painter, visual artist, and art pedagogue. I graduated with a Master of Arts degree from the University of Art and Design and have taught art throughout my career in various educational institutions, from adult education centers to universities. I have taught icon painting to young people and adults since 2016 at the Helsinki Orthodox Parish, and since 2022 also at Kalliolan opisto.

My passion in icon painting is drawing; I could do it every day and never get bored! The best part of teaching is when a student understands something and can then apply it to their work.

You can see my painted icons and other art on Instagram, the account name is ikonimaalari.
