Reviews
Craftspersons who have copied Celtic knotwork designs for their own work know that the construction process is not obvious in the finished design. The secret to understanding the designs lies in the sequence of superimposed drawings that make up the finished knot. Sturrock shows the step-by-step process, starting with simple shapes plotted on a dot grid and gradually interconnecting these with a succession of interlacing lines and curves. She includes instructions for straight borders, corner designs, and zoomorphics, the familiar convoluted animals of old Celtic manuscripts. Color renderings and good contrast in layout make this easier to use than other books on knotwork. A separate chapter shows examples of Celtic knot designs used in crafts such as needlework or ceramics.
