Please also note that those under 35 years old receive a 40 percent discount on the price of icon painting courses. Instructor: icon painter Katarina Koskivaara-Ilmonen. To ensure that the course time can be used entirely for painting, the course requires completion of preliminary assignments and communication with the instructor before the course begins. For this reason, registration closes on August 2, 2027. The language of instruction is Finnish.
