Designing Like... The Book of Kells, Jan 2023

 Welcome the New Year with a new 'Design Like' class that will incorporate the best of Celtic design and Irish traditions. This class will walk you through designing in the style of Medieval manuscripts like The Book of Kells and the Black Hours, pulling on Celtic spirals, knotwork, tracery and trumpets as well as enough ancient bestiary design to sink an ark!  In addition to traditional Celtic design we will be looking at the lore, ritual, and superstition of Irish culture and the centuries of storytelling that have populated the green isle with leprechauns, fairies, banshees, kelpies and more. Our design component will include incorporating Celtic text fonts into our compositions and challenge you to include text elements that we will evolve together in class. Blessings, New Year's traditions, and legendary lore will help us illuminate a chapter of distinctive and versatile historic design that will add style and Celtic character to your original designs.  This class runs live on two
