Hand craftsmanship and attention to detail
About St. John's Workshop
St. John's Workshop specializes in custom woodwork for church communities. From furniture to liturgical implements to icon screens and icon panels. We use traditional techniques and natural finishes, one of which is true gesso over pure linen cloth as a suitable surface for all paint mediums. This is the finish found on all traditionally painted icon boards both in homes and temples.
Quality and communication sets us apart from other suppliers. Let us help you with your needs!
Custom work and standard options
About Our Icon Boards
We are happy to quote you on all your panel needs. We offer panels made from baltic birch plywood or vertical grain linden wood with vertical grain oak braces on the back. Order with or without our true gesso applied.
We are able to produce any size and shape. We produce crosses, diptychs and triptychs, as well as boards with intricately carved borders and will consider all custom inquiries.
