Meet the Artist

He holds a Bachelor of Technology degree from DeVry University in Calgary, Alberta, and is a certified Electronics Engineering Technologist.
His passion for Celtic knotwork started as a personal interest, but with the rise of 3D printing, he saw the opportunity to bring these intricate designs into the physical world.

The Knotty Celt
Ancient tradition meets modern technology for impossible creations.
At The Knotty Celt, we blend the timeless beauty of Celtic knotwork with cutting-edge 3D printing technology to create intricate, meaningful jewellery. Founded by Andrew Brownrigg, The Knotty Celt combines a deep passion for Celtic heritage with modern craftsmanship, bringing traditional designs to life in ways that were once impossible.
Each design begins as a detailed 3D model, carefully crafted to capture the complexity and symbolism of ancient Celtic knots. Using state-of-the-art 3D printing technology, these designs are transformed into tangible wax models, which serve as the foundation for our intricate jewellery casting process. From there, the wax is used to create plaster molds, allowing molten metal to flow into every curve and knot.
What sets The Knotty Celt apart is our ability to craft true, infinite loops—knots without any seams or breaks, reflecting the Celtic belief in eternity and interconnectedness. This method allows for unparalleled precision, giving life to designs that are as complex as they are symbolic.
Our collections are not just pieces of jewellery—they are expressions of heritage, faith, and personal meaning. Each knot tells a story, whether it’s the eternal bond of the Claddagh or the intricate symbolism behind the Trinity Knot. By combining ancient designs with modern techniques, we honour tradition while pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in jewellery making.
