Pause and Paint: An Icon painting workshop for teens.

A two day school holiday event for teens to learn the ancient art of Icon Painting.

Across the two days you will learn the skills you need to draw a face in perspective as well as the opportunity to try painting using the painting style artists used over 500 years ago using the same materials: dry pigments in egg tempera.

The workshop will be led by UCA Icon School teacher Peter Blackwood. There will be opportunities to pause and pray and reflect each day as you paint.

Participants can also pause and walk the labyrinth on site at the church, or to enjoy an icon exhibition. If you enjoy art and like thinking about faith, then this is for you!

When: 10am – 4:00 pm Thursday 3rd October & Friday 4th October.

Where: Scots Uniting Church 187 Burgundy St Heidelberg.

Cost: $20 to cover art materials and morning and afternoon teas.

Lunch can be brought, or purchased at the Sycamore Tree café on site, or at other nearby shops.

Transport: Scots church is 200m from the Heidelberg Train station, and accessible by bus.

RSVP: Tuesday 1st October
