Derek is an Ordained Reader in the Orthodox Christian Church and so Icons are an important part of his daily life. He will be demonstrating all aspects of ‘writing’ an icon from making the boards to adding the name on the icon which is traditionally the final act in creating an icon. He is most willingly to talk about icons and his work and is accepting commissions for Icons.
Derek is also a professional Stained Glass Artist and has a modern studio in the beautiful city of Lincoln. He is also studying Iconography and Wall Painting at The Prince’s School of Traditional Arts under master Iconographer Aidan Hart.
