Portable canvas labyrinths were introduced by the Reverend Dr. Lauren Artress, canon of special ministries at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, some ten years ago. The Worldwide Labyrinth Project. Including all clients and styles, to date we have made more than 400 canvas labyrinths.
Portable labyrinths offer a convenient way to offer labyrinth walks.
Making them is labor intensive, which is reflected in the price. Most popular with churches is the Chartres labyrinth pattern. It originated in the early Middle Ages specifically to incorporate Christian meaning and symbolism. The most elegant and best-known version of the Medieval pattern is the one found in Chartres Cathedral. Our standard sizes for the Chartres labyrinth fall within the range of 30 to 36 feet in diameter.
