This week-long workshop will include five consecutive days of studio time. Check-in begins Sunday night at 4:30 PM, followed by dinner at 5:30 PM for students and instructors. Dinner will be followed by a workshop introduction and conference, ending at 9:00 PM. Hands-on instruction begins early Monday morning, and the last meal will be lunch on Friday. The art studio will be available on Friday afternoon to complete your icon.
&nbsp;To celebrate the 2026 jubilee year commemorating the 800th anniversary of the passing of St Francis of Assisi, the September Essentials of Iconography Workshop focuses on a contemporary prototype of St Francis, composed from art historical images. The model emphasizes the immediacy of the saint’s face and his modesty.As we open up the icon of St. Francis’ face with paint, each day’s session will be accompanied by morning and afternoon readings from the saint’s own writings and the earliest biographies by Thomas of Celano, St Bonaventure and others.We will work with the materials and technique of historical iconography - egg tempera and natural earth pigments, painted onto a 9” x 12” wood panel prepared with linen and true artists gesso. The process of painting, or “writing” the icon, parallels its vision of a transfigured reality; beginning with deepest colors, we illuminate the real form of the saint's body with subsequent layers of lighter colors. We will explore how the icon’s use of symbols, inverse perspective, color, and internal sense of order make it a singular form of religious art.&nbsp; It expresses what Christians believe is reality - a world of matter filled with spirit.Because of time constraints, the background of the icon will be painted; technical emphasis will be on calligraphic line work to construct a drawing, color mixing, and blending tones to create lighter seamless passages of light. All materials and tools needed to make on icon are included.
Students attending the workshop should arrive with basic brush skills, a familiarity with the color wheel, and experience mixing colors.

Valinda @ Healing Through Divine Love invites&nbsp; you to join her for her next class "Judgment of Others and Self &amp; How It Effects Us".&nbsp; We learn to judge at a very early age. We judge how we look, speak, act and think, just name a few. Having awareness of these things can help us greatly to access more self love and higher consciousness. When we judge others, we are actually experiencing a mirror effect. Seeing something we won’t or can’t see in ourselves. This class is designed to help you to have awareness and give you tools to help you to navigate your relationships in a way that allows for a greater understanding of self and others. Date: Monday, August 31st Time: 6:00 -7:30/8 PM Location: Theater at Stonington Natural Health Center 107 Wilcox Rd.

<table><tbody><tr><td>LOVE Where You Read 2026: America 250 — Freedom to Read
As America commemorates its 250th anniversary, we invite artists ages 15 and up to celebrate one of our nation's most enduring freedoms: the freedom to read.
The LOVE Where You Read Art Contest challenges students and local artists to design an original poster that explores the theme "America 250: Freedom to Read." Libraries have long served as places where people can discover new ideas, learn from different perspectives, and access information freely. This year's contest asks artists to reflect on the role of reading, learning, and libraries in a free society. 
Your artwork might explore questions such as:
<ul><li>What does the freedom to read mean to you?</li><li>How do libraries help strengthen our communities and democracy?</li><li>How has access to books, information, and ideas shaped America over the past 250 years?</li><li>What role will reading and lifelong learning play in America's future? </li></ul>
Artists are encouraged to create inspiring, original designs that celebrate both the nation's 250th anniversary and the library as a place of opportunity, curiosity, and freedom. Designs must be two-dimensional and no larger than 11.5"x17.5". Submissions will be accepted starting September 1 through September 25. The winner and artists selected for the exhibit will be contacted by September 30. Winner will receive $250! No entry fee required. 
Whether your vision is historical, contemporary, or imaginative, we invite you to show how the freedom to read connects us to our past, empowers us in the present, and helps shape the future. Please review the full contest rules <a href="https://www.stoningtonfreelibrary.org/event/2026-love-where-you-read-freedom-to-read-poster-contest/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">HERE</a>&nbsp;before submitting.For more information, email millie@stoningtonfreelibrary.org.
