Aidan’s collegue Martin Earle has been invited to run two mosaic courses this year – one in Calgary, Canada (August 17 – 22), and the other on Lesvos, Greece (September 17 – 24).
These week long workshops will be opportunities to create two mosaic studies using the finest Venetian materials while learning about the principles of the Byzantine technique. They are particularly well suited to icon painters who want to start making mosaic work but would be accessible to anyone who wants to learn more about this ancient craft.
