Greetings for the pending Spring! The last three months have seen us work in various media: wood, stone, brass and bronze, egg tempera, and now also mosaic. More and more I discover that the making of liturgical art is not just a means to an end, but is in itself prayer and worship expressed in matter. Through human hands the very stones cry out, "Hosanna to God in the Highest!".
In addition to the projects below work is underway creating two mosaics for St George Orthodox Church in Houston, Texas. They are of the Crucifixion and the Resurrection, each to be 4.9 x 3.6 metres (16 x 12 feet), but more on that in our Spring newsletter...
There is also good news on the book front. A new edition of Techniques of Icon and Wall Painting is due out in about May. It is updated, typos have been corrected, but most importantly, a five page index has been added. For those of you who already have a copy, you can download a pdf of the index here to print and stick into the back.
Wishing you a holy Lent and a glorious Easter,
