From the beguiling pathways of step and key patterns to the continuous line of the spiral, here are all the simplest forms of Celtic design with a clear explanation of both freehand and canonical geometric methods; and detailed instruction on how to create your own illuminated manuscript pages with the help of an appendix of tools and techniques.

A treasure house of ideas...

Celtic design itself, or for anyone interested in developing
their skills in formalised design
