Discover the ancient art of Celtic design in a two-hour workshop that blends creativity, history, and mindfulness. You’ll embark on a peaceful artistic journey, learning how to draw intricate Celtic step patterns, known for their geometric beauty and rhythmic flow.

Start by exploring the mesmerizing designs found in the Book of Kells, the Book of Durrow, and the Lindisfarne Gospels. These masterpieces have captivated generations with their rich symbolism and stunning patterns. As we explore these sacred images, we’ll uncover the geometric principles behind them and begin to understand how art can reflect both creativity and contemplation.

Guided by the meditative rhythm of Celtic design, you’ll then construct a step pattern, using gentle repetition to cultivate focus and calm. This process isn't just about drawing, it’s a quiet meditation that encourages you to slow down, center yourself, and get lost in a flow state.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with a framed piece of art—a tribute to the timeless beauty of Celtic tradition, ready to display in your home or share with loved ones.

Open to all skill levels, this workshop is perfect for those who want to relax, tap into their creativity, and explore the meditative world of Celtic art. No previous experience necessary, just a curiosity to learn and a desire to connect with the calming flow of artistic creation.

The workshop is led by Sudha McFadden, who lived in Ireland for several years. She’s delighted to share this authentic experience with you, inviting you to explore the beauty, history, and serenity of Celtic art from a unique, personal perspective.
