A Monthly Studio Course for Advanced Study and Artistic Development
This new Postgraduate Class is designed for graduates of the Writing the Light Certificate Program—or experienced iconographers and sacred artists—who wish to continue developing their work under the direct mentorship of Dr. George Kordis in an open, creative format.
Structured as a monthly studio gathering, the course offers an ongoing opportunity to explore personal or thematic projects within the Byzantine visual system, allowing each student to deepen their voice and refine their technical expression in a supportive, advanced-level setting.
Key Features:
SCHEDULE:
Meets once a month ~ 2 hours per session (live, online)
Three Fall semester dates: October 29 (Wednesday), November 26 (a Wednesday), December 22* (with one Monday),
7:30 – 9:30pm Athens time (12:30 to 2:30pm EST for US & Canada).
Who Should Attend
This atelier-style format is ideal for committed students who seek to maintain a rhythm of artistic practice and be part of a continuing community of sacred artists beyond formal study.
As part of this continuing formation, Dr. Kordis will also share new works in progress from his own studio practice, offering students a window into his creative process and current explorations. Interested students must receive permission to join the class — or be a Certificate graduate of Writing the Light.
Cost: 90 EUR Semester-long Commitment – 1x per month for 3 months (October – December).
