Purchase options and add-ons

Celtic art beguiles the eye and sings to the heart. It is grounded in the mystical understanding of number. In Celtic Pattern, author and artist Adam Tetlow makes accessible the complexities of this ancient tradition. He answers the myriad of questions surrounding the style: How do you draw Celtic knot work? What re the secrets of keys? What do these patterns actually mean? Who drew them? Where did they come from? In a book as beautifully designed as it is original, and full of illustrations by the author and rare engravings, Tetlow shows us the hidden principles behind the ancient magical science of Celtic artwork.

A dense and delightful introduction to the purpose and methods of Celtic geometry and design

Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is a small book that packs a huge punch. Each pair of pages provides a vast amount of information and entry points into a major aspect of Celtic Geometry. Each image contains detailed steps of how it was constructed by compass and straightedge so that the interested reader can reconstruct the image geometrically for him- or herself. And even the layout of each design page gives insight into how Celtic geometers and artists understood their design process. I go back to this little book over and over as a reference source. Highly recommended for anyone interested in the specifics of Celtic design!

Excellent book on Celtic art.

Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2016

Verified Purchase

This is an excellent and comprehensive book on Celtic art. The format used in all the books published in the series, from Wooden Books, have the same somewhat limiting format, and all with just 64 pages. But Adam Tetlow fits a LOT into that space limitation, including some important discussion of composition of the individual elements (spirals, knots, key patterns, etc) to produce an integrated design. Tetlow's diagrams and drawings for the book are first rate.

Good display book

Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2015

I love books, and this one had a nice, solid feel to it. However, this book wasn't quite what I expected it. I was expecting more up close images of Celtic art that I might learn from and practice reproducing. Instead, the book focused more on the history and artifacts, which interested me, but wasn't exactly what I had bought it for. However it will make a nice display book.

Thank you.

Book is too small. Illustrations detail is too small. Print is too small.

This book would be magnificent if it was at least 8 1/2" x 11" and printed on paper worthy of the illustrations.

Beautiful Book!

An incredible little read on Celtic patterns and art!

The book did arrive with a crinkled cover which was disappointing, but otherwise it arrived on time and the content was well-worth any hiccups.

Very nice!

I have to say I was very surprised by the quality fo this little book. I enjoy practising Celtic art and wanted some more information on its layout and construction. I have several books on the subject and this has really made a difference to my reference material. There is actually a lot of interesting info inside and well worth the money I spent. Quote "In this sublime interweaving of the kingdoms of nature and number we see the ultimate meaning of Celtic art". Celtic art is very sophisticated and involves lots of geometry and this little gem has helped me understand its mysteries a lot more. So thank you Adam for producing it!

If you just want to learn to draw Celtic patterns, you might do better with YouTube. This is quite small and detailed so requires care - but also contains a lot of useful info and is a lovely book. Glad I got it for our Celtic studies project resources.
