Student Showcase: Six week Celtic knotwork drawing course for beginners – week 5

ByCrafts for Wellbeing 16 May 202317 May 2023

Today was week five of my six week Celtic knotwork drawing course at Breathing Space at Witton Gilbert, and my students surpassed themselves with their work!

Drawing Celtic knots in a circle can be a tough challenge, yet everyone got stuck right in and created wonderful knots. I’m so proud of everyone!

Next week is the final week in the course where everyone will work on their own full page design. I’m really looking forward to seeing what everyone creates.

Well done everyone!

If you would like to learn Celtic knotwork with me, then I run a regular Celtic Knotwork Drawing for Beginners workshop in my studio. I’ll also be teaching this more in depth six week course later in the year, join my newsletter to be the first to hear about that.
