Welcome to our site! A place dedicated to the art of the Celts.
Our site is dedicated to the many types of Celtic knot, tattoo, design, border and pattern. As we progress you will find all the different types of knotwork drawings and the various ways of drawing knots. We plan on making a fully informative site!

Celtic Knotwork
Knotwork is an intricate series of knots tied together to create patterns such as the pure pattern, which has no beginning and no end. (See the above picture.) Celt style art was developed by monks and warriors, who had a great number of uses for knots and motifs.
Celtic knots were then, and are still now, used to help monks gain better meditation focus as the lines around the design can be followed in a trance like state.
The Christians also use Celtic knots to form the Triquetra (which is a three-pointed star made of a knot) meditate better and focus closer on their prayers as they followed the lines around the design. To Christians the three points of the symbol represent Christian Trinity: The father, the son, and the holy spirit.
