Completion of the 7-Circuit Labyrinth




The students at IPS School #74  painted the lines of the labyrinth's paths. A BIG thank you to Bridget, the art teacher was instrumental in this endeavor!

















Constructing the 7- Circuit Labyrinth



I was fortunate to work with John Ridder of PaxWorks in constructing a classic 7-circuit labyrinth. John donated the green canvas for the labyrinth. We began creating the labyrinth by determining the dimensions, drawing the top circles, and making the lower quadrants.






The basic technique for making a 7-circuit labyrinth is the same as for the Chartres labyrinth. We used a measuring guide to put down bits of tape, later connecting the lines traced with a silver Sharpie marker to produce the labyrinth.
