Utilizing the experience and talents of three well known professional iconographers allows us to offer instruction on many levels simultaneously. The depth of Pokrovsky's knowledge and artistry as well as her historic role in the recovery of traditional Byzantine iconography is supplemented by Czarnecki's uncommon gift of articulation and Gouriev's mastery of exquisite detail.
All three teachers share instruction in venues where there is a minimum of 15 students.
