Description
Art and Craft of Labyrinth (19 - 23 May 2024) Learn the art of labyrinth design and construction. Construct a collection of 'new' and 'old' labyrinths including the classical seven circuits 'Cretan' and eleven-circuit Medieval labyrinth using compasses and straight-edge. Develop an understanding and appreciation of labyrinth forms - ancient and modern - from around the world: how, why, and for whom are they made?
