This inspiring collection of patterns includes all the main
branches of traditional Celtic ornament:
the wonderful intricacy of spirals and knotwork;
geometric step and maze patterns;
fabulous beast, bird and plant designs.
Great works of art, such as the Book of Kells and the Book of
Durrow; were created by several artists working together, one
drawing in pen and ink, another painting in the patterns. In this
book you are invited to fulfil the role of painter, informed by
notes on the choice of colors and on the history of the designs.
This repertoire of Celtic designs, created by one of the leading
proponents of the genre, is based on traditional sources - the
great illuminated manuscripts and Pictish carved stonework. It
provides a creative and engaging introduction to Celtic art, and
will be of great value to artists, designers and crafts people
interested in experimenting with new patterns and techniques.
