Celtic Design: Spiral Patterns by Aidan Meehan
The oldest and most characteristically Celtic type of design, spiral patterns illustrate vividly the continuity between pagan and Christian Celtic art. Spirals are a constant presence, from the art of Late Stone Age Central Europe, through megalithic temple sculptures, the La Tene bronzes of the Gauls and Britons, and Pictish jewels, to the marvellous system of Celtic art's golden age in the early middle ages. Aidan Meehan gives detailed practical advice on how to adapt that living tradition to the demands of modem craft and design, with the aid of abundant illustrations.Aidan Meehan has been studying and practicing Celtic knot design since 1974, when he discovered the triple-grid approach. He is the author of the Celtic Design series, which consists of eight volumes, as well as numerous other publications on the subject.
