The Mosaic Icon Workshop Petros operates in Siilinjärvi and has been provided for by the Orthodox Congregation of Kuopio. It was founded in 2002. The chairman of the workshop is icon-painter and teacher Tuulikki Likitalo, and the secretary and treasurer is Heikki Ruotsalainen. The workshop is a subsection of the Fellowship of St. Sergius and St. Herman.
During the winter, the workshop gathers once every month at the Orthodox Church Hall in Siilinjärvi, where the church has provided the workshop with year-round premises.
The workshop organizes mosaic courses of different durations in cooperation with the Christian Learning Centre and Valamo Lay Academy. The courses are led by the Muscovite mosaic artist Yurij Yarin.
