Icons as Prayer
About
During this one day workshop, Melbourne artist Christine Sage and Adelaide spiritual director Val DeBrenni explore the tradition of artists as iconographers. Using a template of St Francis of Assisi (or another chosen saint) we will explore through art and poetry how best to create an image which speaks to each of us uniquely.Please note that it is not necessary to have particular artistic talent to engage in this day but rather an openness to prayer in its many forms and a willingness to engage in reflection.
Art materials will be provided but you may bring your own if you wish. There will be a choice of mediums including pencil, water colour, gouache, mixed medium.
This day is suitable for all adults.
Presented by Chris Sage and Val DeBrenni
