New Guild Studio designed and produced all of the following work shown in this portfolio:
Iconography
A large icon of the "Communion of the Apostles" was made and installed to the curved back wall of the Sanctuary. The icon was painted in artist's oil colors, on canvas. Major festal icons of the "Nativity of Christ" and the "Myrrh-Bearing Women at the Sepulcher," painted in artist's oil colors on panel, were made for the two newly designed and produced side tables. A gilded hand-built wood triptych of the icon of the Theotokos with Christ Child, flanked on either side by Saints Peter and Paul, was completed for the shrine chapel located in the rear of the Church.
Iconostasis
An iconostasis was designed to complement the contemporary interior. The screen is of steel construction with wood icon and copper leafed decorative panels. Twelve icons, painted with artist's oil colors on panel, with 23K gold and copper leaf accents, complete the icon screen.
Altar Furniture
The sanctuary furniture, including the altar, pulpit, side tables and tetrapod are original designs. They are constructed from cherry wood and embellished with hand worked copper ornament that has been finished with patina.
Church Appointments and Tabernacle
The tabernacle, tetrapod cross and candleholders, side tables and altar candleholders and the suspended sanctuary lamp were custom designed and produced in bronze and cherry wood. Each piece is accented with and-sculpted copper relief ornamentation and figurative work, such as the icons of Saints Cyril and Methodius that appear on the front doors of the Tabernacle and the crucifixion icon of the Tetrapod Cross. |
