CELTIC KNOTWORK:
The Next Step
Joy Daniels, Instructor
This class offers a chance to take your Celtic Knotwork to the next level. Haven't done Celtic Knots in a while? Not to worry, we've got you covered! Joy has also filmed a short video on the basics to refresh your memory for students in this class.
Joy will cover new designs that can be used in many ways, including holiday cards! There are so many applications where these designs are just the thing to go with calligraphic work. I can just imagine how beautiful a Celtic Knot design would be at the top of a calligraphic poem.
We will be building on the skills learned in the first class. For this part, you will need a compass for drawing circles and a protractor, in addition to the previous list of materials. We will be using some very basic geometry but don’t be put off – it’s not scary!
We will also cover some different coloring techniques.
