Limited spots available—register today! About the workshop: From 4th-century Egyptians to medieval altarpiece artists, to contemporary painters, artists have chosen egg tempera for its permanence and unique luminosity. Although an ancient technique, this fascinating medium is really very simple and economical to use. In this 2-day workshop, Kathy will demonstrate how to make tempera paints using egg yolk, dry pigments, and a little water. The first class will cover examples of egg tempera painting through the ages, how to make the egg tempera paint, the materials needed to get started, best practices for handling pigments, and painting techniques such as brushwork, glazing, sponging, and scumbling. Sample panels will be provided, as well as a larger panel for each student’s final painting. After the demonstration, students will mix their own egg tempera paints, try it out on practice panels, and then transfer a drawing to a larger panel. Prerequisites:Students should have some painting experience in any medium. About the Instructor:Kathy Hodge is known for her oil paintings, but after “inheriting” the egg tempera supplies of magic realist painter Louise Marianetti, she became intrigued by the technique and has worked it into her studio practice. She attended RISD through her junior year as a painting major and has a BFA in painting from the Swain School of Design in New Bedford. She has exhibited her paintings in many one person shows and has been appointed Artist-in-Residence in 13 National Parks and 2 National Forests across the country. She was the recipient of a Rhode Island State Council on the Arts Painting Fellowship in 2017.

Icon Painting Workshop with Ekaterina Daineko

Limited spots available – register today! Cost: $1,100 for members and $1,400 for not-yet-members Register Now The Icon Museum is pleased to offer an 8-Day icon painting workshop with Belarusian iconographer Ekaterina Daineko, instructor and Director of the Art Program at the Icon Institute in St. Tikhon’s Monastery. Ekaterina is classically trained in Europe and Belarus, with a strong academic foundation in painting and drawing. For Ekaterina, icon painting is not decorative—it is a language. She believes that icons are meant to reflect heavenly light and the beauty of the divine world. But this beauty does not appear by intuition alone. As a teacher, Ekaterina emphasizes classical standards and harmony, guiding her students through rigorous foundational work. Her goal is not speed or stylistic shortcuts, but professional mastery—the kind that enables spiritual expression rather than superficiality. Ekaterina is deeply committed to re-introducing icon painting in the West as a serious, demanding art form, not a hobby or a craft. Through discipline, tradition, and care for beauty, she sees sacred art as capable of healing, clarifying, and orienting the human heart. The course is limited to 10 students ensuring an exclusive highly focused learning environment targeted to all skill-levels using traditional egg tempera on wood panels, a historic technique that demands precision, patience, and deep material knowledge. Students must supply their own brushes all other materials will be provided. Cancellation Policy: Please read the following policy carefully before registering.
