Celtic Knots - Drawing Activity

Posted: April 19, 2020

The Miramichi is known the world over for many things... Timber, world class Salmon fishing (and now Stripped Bass), and for it's ties to Ireland.  Your task for this week is to try your hand at drawing Celtic Knots.  

Watch the video on basic knot drawing and practice a few until you have it.  Then try some of the more complicated ones found in the Web Links tab above.

Take your time and remember to draw lightly until you are happy with your lines. Then you can darken them up.

You will be able to do several attempts on a sheet of paper.  Once you have the technique down, try to make more and more complicated designs. Feel Free to add colour to your designs.  The only limit is your imagination!
