How do you draw Celtic knotwork? What are the secrets of keys? Are there tricks for drawing Celtic spirals? What do these mysterious patterns actually mean? Who drew them? Where did they come from? In this exquisite pocket book, author and artist Adam Tetlow shows us the practical tricks of the trade and the hidden principles behind the ancient magical science of Celtic artwork. With examples from both early and later periods, illustrations by the author and rare engravings.
Customer Reviews
This is a small book that packs a huge punch. Each pair of pages provides a vast amount of information and entry points into a major aspect of Celtic Geometry. Each image contains detailed steps of how it was constructed by compass and straightedge so that the interested reader can reconstruct the image geometrically for him- or herself. And even the layout of each design page gives insight into how Celtic geometers and artists understood their design process. I go back to this little book over and over as a reference source. Highly recommended for anyone interested in the specifics of Celtic design!
