Its organizer and leader is the icon painter of the Irkutsk diocese, a member of the Union of Artists of Russia Elena Aleshina. The teachers are also professional artists Yulia Guseva and Marina Kostyrenko. Over the course of four years, they study icon painting, the basics of the icon painting canon and iconography, the history of icon painting, the basics of the Church Slavonic language and church calligraphy, various technological methods of icon painting, learn how to gild and work with gold leaf. “The work of an icon painter is not only the ability to draw, but also knowledge of theology, hagiographic books, texts of the Bible and the Gospel, this is prayer and life in the Temple,”
