Structured, rhythmic, and deeply meditative, Celtic step drawing channels the precision and harmony of Ireland’s ancient artistic traditions.
Having lived in Ireland for several years and studied Celtic art in depth, Sudha will guide you through the contemplative world of interlocking lines and geometric balance through unique “step patterns” that sharpen focus and quiet mental chatter.
We’ll begin with a short visual presentation exploring the landscapes, manuscripts, and symbolism of Irish art: a journey through Ireland’s aesthetic soul. Then we’ll move into guided instruction, helping you build a step pattern one careful stroke at a time. The repetitive, orderly nature of this technique encourages a centered state of attention that feels both grounding and creatively expansive. By the end, you’ll have created a richly patterned piece that reflects both discipline and imagination.
Who Is This For?
*People curious about Irish culture, symbolism, and history
*Beginners who appreciate clear guidance and steady instruction
*Anyone who finds peace in detailed, step-by-step creative work
*Anyone who enjoys structure, pattern, and meditative repetition
*Artists seeking a new technique to strengthen focus and precision
What Will I Take Home?
You’ll take home a 12x12 framed & matted Celtic step drawing, a striking geometric artwork ready to display, along with a deeper understanding of the cultural lineage that inspired it.
