SPONSOR: South Los Angeles Chapter (Solar Nibs)
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Interwoven Knots, aka Celtic Knots, had it’s origins in the late Roman Empire. The knot we will be painting is from early medieval Spain. The Islamic influence adds unique and interesting decorative elements that are fun to paint - in colors of your choice. In addition to the pure pleasure of painting the knot looks great printed on throw pillows, apron bibs, note cards and mouse pads.
