Introduction to Celtic Knotwork
Tickets
Celtic knotwork patterns depicting birds and animals, trees and other plants, people and even the sun and the moon, as well as abstract patterns, were developed in pre-Christian times, and incorporated into illuminated manuscripts such as the Book of Kells and the Lindesfarne Gospels by early Celtic monks. Sadelle Wiltshire has been developing her techniques for the basic knotwork drawing that will be taught in this workshop. While knotwork may seem challenging to create, there are simpler ways to approach these beautiful detailed drawings. The steps will be broken down for you and there will be plenty of worksheets to try your hand with.** Once you get the swing of the basics, consider signing up for the 5 class Wednesday evening knotwork course, which will delve deeper into more complex interlacing, triquetra designs, working with borders and frames, adding knotwork into different shapes, adding "zoomorphic" figures (animal images) and creating your own "carpet pages".
