PUBLISHERS NOTE

This collection gathers together 130 remarkable stencil designs derived from the Book of Kells and other early medieval Celtic sources. Dutch artist and designer Co Spinhoven has adapted the magnificently dramatic patterns and symbols of Celtic manuscripts to the technical requirements of stencil painting, in the process highlighting the power and formal beauty of these often highly elaborate masterpieces. The same designs that have evoked awe and wonder for a thousand years can now find use in textile, wallpaper and graphic design and in a wide range of crafts and commercial art applications.

In the pages of this book you will discover birds, beasts, fish, the winged apocalyptic emblems of the Evangelists (the man/angel of Matthew, the lion of Mark, the ox of Luke and the eagle of John), as well as abstract spirals, labyrinths and knots. The viewer can now experience the wild and visionary character of these images in a bold and eye-catching new waythanks to this sensitive and skillful translation into stencil format by Co Spinhoven.

PLEASE NOTE: The presence of a letter R on a figure indicates the point at which another figure may be connected. The lower elements of pp. 14 and 15 can be linked to form a chain. The following pairs may be joined to form one unit: the lower figures of pp. 16 and 17; the two figures on p. 21; the upper figures of pp. 24 and 25; and the lower figures of pp. 24 and 25. The three figures on p. 22 form one unit of which the center figure is indefinitely repeatable. The right-hand figure on p. 32 is repeatable onto itself, as is the lower figure on p. 44.
