Failures & Discoveries

Notes from an icon workshop

On the 3rd of December 1985, while we were working on the murals in the chapel of St Silouan, Father Sophrony told me: “Later, you have to write a book about our experiences, which colors were used, the mistakes you made and so on.” Thirty-three years later I set myself to the task. The problem was how to present it all. Finally, I decided to deal with my time of apprenticeship as a story, copied out from my notes and adding a few explanatory notes.
