Download this press release

Monday through Friday, May 10 through 14, St. Christopher’s, Pensacola  will host an icon writing workshop taught by Teresa Harrison. Formerly of Pensacola, now based in California, Teresa is not only a noted iconographer, but a talented and sympathetic instructor as well.

In the course of the workshop, a step-by-step process will result in the creation of an icon that even a beginning (I’ve never held a brush in my life”) iconographer will be happy with. Participants may choose to “write ” either an icon of Christ the Good Shepherd or of the Virgin Mary, Intercessor.

While writing an icon is itself a moving experience, the workshop includes discussion and a daily eucharist, with Fr. Eric Long, rector of St. Christopher’s,  as chaplain. Connie Wendleton, of St. Christopher’s, is coordinator and assistant to Teresa, so please contact her for information and/or encouragement. Connie’s phone is 850-494-1262 and email: wendleton6253@aol.com.

As space is limited, please contact our volunteer registrar Beth Partington of Christ Church to register. Beth can be reached at 850-572-5245 or beth-partington@cox.net. The cost of $400  covers meals –continental breakfasts and lunches– 35 hours of instruction and all materials. A non-refundable deposit of $100 is required to hold your place. Members of all faiths and churches are welcome. Please join us for this exceptional experience.
