St. Aidan's Episcopal Church in Harford, WI held a fun and informative workshop, by Iconographer, Alice Pollock. What can normally take months to "write", we did in a 7+ hour workshop, that gave us an introduction to creating our own icon. Looking forward to doing this again soon! In fact, Christ Episcopal in Delavan will be doing another Icon of Christ in November 2019.
Here are some of the steps in doing the St. Francis icon. I am not at all a painter, so this was learning new things for me, but I enjoyed the aspects of quiet and reflection as we did each step along the way.
