Drazen Dupor of Madison, Wis., will lead an Icon Retreat at Sinsinawa Mound July 19-25. Come learn about the history of iconography, the origin of icon writing, the first and most famous icon writers and the difference between wooden board and wall icons.
Dupor learned the ancient art form in Thessalonica, Greece, at the K. N. Georgiadis School of Art under the supervision of Zlatko Bomestar. He will demonstrate the usage of ancient techniques in present times as you write your own icon. Participants should bring their brushes. Other materials will be provided.
