Exploring Gothic Geometry & Design
This practical course introduces the geometric foundations of Gothic design through hands-on drawing exercises. Using only a compass and ruler, participants will learn to construct key motifs such as trefoils, quatrefoils, arches, and simple rose windows. Through step-by-step guidance, the course explores principles like tangent circles, radial symmetry, and proportional systems that define Gothic ornamentation.
By the end of the course, students will have created a range of Gothic designs, including a tessellating pattern, a classical window arch, a rose window, and—if time permits—a final composition combining motifs explored throughout the week.
Suitable for all levels, the sessions offer a structured environment that encourages precision, curiosity, and a deeper appreciation of Gothic architecture.
