On March 5th I took my
Lost Techniques of the Ancients class to the
St. Seraphim church in Santa Rosa. How lucky we are to have a church right near the school that has real examples of frescoes in progress! There are very few places in the United States where fresco painting is still being practiced. Both Father Moses and Father Patrick explained the plastering and painting process of making a fresco. Treat yourself to a visit to the St. Seraphim church if you are in Northern California!
