^ This is the unique Cretan labyrinth design for the Ropewalk Community Garden. |
|
^ The circuits were marked out in chalk then overlaid with small white paint ‘dabs’. |
 |
|
 |
^ Card stencils were made that would create a twisted rope effect on the ground. |
|
^ A bright paint colour was chosen. The paint is dabbed into the stencil over the white paint spots. |
 |
|
 |
^ This labyrinth has 45cm path widths and is 9m x 8m, to fit in the space available. It takes three minutes to walk into the centre of the labyrinth. |
|
^ The labyrinth is complete. It wraps around the existing sculpture feature. The way into the labyrinth is pointing towards the main entrance. |
