THE WORKSHOP

|
|
At our workshop, we create icons in the Byzantine style with burnished gold, primarily following the Cretan and Palaiologan schools, carefully copying ancient models, as well as our own designs.
The most important thing for us is to capture the forms of the depicted figures as they appear in ancient models, without losing our own character. The materials we use to paint the icons are egg tempera and powders with glue on marine plywood or natural lime wood.
The gilding is done with 22 and 24-carat gold leaf, either matte or burnished gold. At our workshop, we are also capable of taking on iconography work for sacred temples.
We faithfully follow the traditions of iconography and use only the most reliable and durable materials. Contact us for more information about our iconography services for sacred temples.
As for our bookbinding workshop, we handle all types of handmade bookbinding and the restoration of ancient handwritten texts.
We also create leather-bound Gospels or any other liturgical book. In the field of bookbinding, we use only the best materials and techniques to create handmade books that will last for decades. Our clients can choose from a wide variety of papers, leathers, and decorative elements to create a personalized book according to their needs.
Regarding the restoration of ancient handwritten texts, we use specialized techniques and materials to ensure that the ancient documents remain in good condition for many more years. The restoration includes repairing the pages and the outer cover, as well as creating a durable and protective environment to preserve the documents from damage.
