Writing the Light

Καλό μήνα! | May 1st has arrived and we give thanks… 🌿

“A line should stand as a witness to the hope of a state of communion in which all things will exist in unbroken unity, in a relationship of love. It should testify to the structure and qualities of such a unity. Each painter is called upon to find this line in a chaos of choices, and to draw it forth and inscribe it, illuminating not only its existence but also its character.“
~ George Kordis

George Kordis and his team are currently working on a chapel in a monastery outside of Vienna and soon will return to the final painting phase of the Three Hierarchs Church in Budapest. We share some more of the project on our stories.

NEW THINGS: A new Byzantine Foundations I class will take place this Summer with Maria Panou — 8 sessions of one hour each in June and July. We encourage students interested in learning the Byzantine visual system for icons to join and learn to write icons without copying. Classes are held through live Zoom, but also recorded for viewing at your convienience. SEE the www.writingthelight.com website.

SUMMER SCHOOL and NEW YORK residencies are now on waitlists for openings. BYZANTINE WOODCUT with Fotis Varthis is open for students to join on Crete overlapping with our Summer School — August 8 — 13th. See all information on our website. More new things coming soon ~ 🌿

The FALL 2026 Certificate program and SACRED SPACE programs are still taking applications…The curriculum is a hybrid of both online learning paired with individualized in-person residencies. Students immerse in creating icons using the Byzantine system, producing works of beauty to celebrate the living Christian Faith.

With Joy into the new month…! 🌷🌿
