Good to see the museum putting on proper events again in September. I'll try to get along to one of the educational ones — been meaning to learn more about the local church history since we visited last year. Thanks for the heads-up.

Christopher Scott

The creative workshops sound like a nice change from the usual lectures. I'll probably sign up for one of those if they have any icon-painting sessions.

Gabriela Dumitrescu

I am glad that the eparchy's museum is once again organizing creative workshops. Last year I attended an icon painting workshop and greatly enjoyed how they showed us the simple, unpretentious steps. I will try to attend the educational workshops on local history, as I still have a book about the local saints that I haven't had time to read.

Cristina Dobre

I'm glad you enjoyed last year's icon painting workshop, Gabriela. I went to the embroidery one and was left with a pillowcase that I still use on the sofa. Are you going to read that book about the local saints before the educational events or are you leaving it for later?

George Smith

Yeah, those history talks are worth it. I went to the one last spring about the old Kazan churches and picked up a couple of details I never knew, even though I've lived here 15 years. Which date are you thinking of going to?

Sophia Carter

The one on 18th September about the old icons looks good to me. I remember you mentioning that spring talk – did they show any photos of the churches that got pulled down in the 30s? I always forget the exact dates.

Irene Wilson

Those history talks do stick with you. I learned more about the old wooden church on the riverbank than I ever expected from one evening. Are you planning on the September 18th icons one too, or something later?

Sophia Young

I like that idea too — the pottery workshop they’re running on the 14th is hands-on and no experience needed, which feels less intimidating than jumping straight into icon painting. Have you done any icon work before?
