About this Retreat
Your Guides
Drazen Dupor is an artist and iconographer, specializing in Byzantine iconography. Born in Croatia, Drazen studied the art of icon painting in Thessalonica, Greece, at the K.N. Georgiadis School of Art. Since moving to the U.S. in 2003, Drazen has taught icon painting lessons in his studio and he frequently presents workshops for retreats, churches, and community groups. He accepts commissions for small and large icons, and he has painted large murals in numerous churches in the U.S. Drazen and his wife, Nives, make their home in Madison, WI.
Details of this retreat
Discover the sacred art of Byzantine iconography as you create your own icon of St. Joseph the Worker. Guided step-by-step through the process by experienced iconographer Drazen Dupor, participants will paint a traditional icon on a prepared 11" x 15" wooden panel and learn the techniques used in this centuries-old artistic and spiritual practice.
Each icon will be enhanced with technical gold leaf, and students will receive a pre-sketched board to help them begin. No previous experience is necessary. Whether you are an artist, a person of faith, or simply curious about this ancient tradition, you will be supported throughout the process and leave with a completed icon of your own.
