Courses
Peter can teach traditional Byzantine icon painting techniques and early Italian panel painting techniques, which includes the use of gold leaf for backgrounds and halos. The tempera paint used will be made from scratch each day using eggs and pigments. To ensure that students receive individual attention, course numbers will be strictly limited to five participants. Tuition will be friendly, informal and constructive.
Come and find out why Libby Purves, noted BBC radio personality and journalist wrote in a review of the course for The Times newspaper "I learned more in three days than in a whole terms History of Art".
The course fee includes tuition, materials for your own first icon and a daily lunch . Participants may wish to bring their own fine brushes if they have them.
