Icon writing workshop Nov. 9-13
 Redeemer, Midlothian, will hold a week-long workshop presented by the venerated Prosopon School of Iconography and Iconology, November 9-13.
The Prosopon School of Iconology introduces students to the practice and theory of ancient Christian art of icon-writing in the Byzantine-Russian tradition. The iconographer attempts to produce icons reflecting the same state of inner, contemplative depth evident in the greatest examples of that tradition through refinement of artistic nuance and attention to the iconographic canon and principles. As is fitting to the icon's sacred function, only natural materials are used: wood panels treated with natural ground gesso, genuine gold leaf applied by the bole method, egg tempera using ground pigments, and linseed oil finish. The iconographic method of the Prosopon School is characterized by a multi-step process in which the succession of steps is concrete and definite. Although striving for a high artistic level, the focus of the icon-writer is on personal spiritual discipline and growth within the guidelines of Orthodox Church teachings. In accordance with the Orthodox Church's teaching that Icons are the 'Gospel in light and color', the Prosopon School welcomes inquiring students from all backgrounds, skill level and faiths.
Each day of the workshop the students will begin with prayers at 9 a.m. followed by studio time until 5 p.m. with a break for lunch. The instructor for the course will be Rev Igumen Father Mefodii from St Maximos the Confessor Skete in Palmyra, Virginia. As is the tradition at the Prosopon School, all those writing their first icon will write the icon of the Archangel Michael. The cost of the workshop is $675, which includes all materials for producing one icon. For more information on reserving a workshop spot ($100 non-refundable deposit required), please contact Redeemer at 804-379-8899 or episcopalredeemer@gmail.com.

St. Matthias' Cultural Series kicks off 2015-2016 season with acoustic soloist Timothy Seaman
 St. Matthias', Midlothian, kicks off the 2015-2016 Cultural Series with a concert by acoustic soloist Timothy Seaman on Sunday, October 18, 4:00 p.m. Works by potters Carren Clarke-McAdoo and Nga Nguyen-Weaver of Woodland Heights Studio. The concert is open to the public, donations are appreciated. A reception will follow.
Acoustic soloist Timothy Seaman brings together an eclectic blend of music styles unlike any other: sometimes the deep voice of his four-octave extended-range hammered dulcimer takes on the heart of a Chopin ballade, and at other times the festivity of an old-time mountain dance or a glistening contemporary interpretation of a whitewater canoe ride or a highland hike among fir trees. His bamboo or silver flute improvisations and passionate folk renditions leave the air glowing with meaning --- and then the bowed psaltery or the crafted vocal carries one's mood into yet another exploration.
A specialist in Virginia themes, nature, parks, Celtic roots and folk hymns, Timothy has since 1978 produced or co-produced nineteen recordings, including the well-received Here on This Ridge, for Shenandoah National Park, Celebration of Centuries, for his home town Williamsburg's tri-centennial, Sycamore Rapids, featuring the hammered dulcimer in "adventures out among the trees of Virginia's Parks and Forests," Virginia Wildlife, for the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, Jamestown: On the Edge of a Vast Continent, for the 400th commemoration, Cleansing Fountain, folk hymn interpretations for the Blue Ridge Parkway, a set of lyrical melodies called Celtic Airs, and the recent release for the Civil War Sesquicentennial entitled Tenting on the Old Camp Ground.
St. Matthias (Midlothian) is located at 11300 W. Huguenot Road, Midlothian, VA 23113. For more information, you may call John A. Murdock at 804/272-8588, ext. 103, or email: jamurdock@stmatmidlo.com.
