Portable Canvas Labyrinths   

PAXworks makes labyrinths to your custom order. We take your order personally, allowing our artisans to dedicate each pencil or brush stroke in prayerful intent for your community. All our labyrinths are sewn, hand drawn, and hand painted in the same church hall where we began making them in February 1995. The church hall was the worship space for 35 years, and still holds the memory of life, services, baptisms, marriages, funerals, Easter and Christmas services from those times.  We also offer consultation, design and installation service for permanent labyrinths!  PAXworks founder, John Ridder, speaks on several related topics, loves talking with small and large groups, and specializes in building outdoor labyrinths on retreat with enthusiastic volunteers ! 

About Labyrinths - About our founder.

Our Works We don't use modern machines or computers, We hand-draw and hand-paint every labyrinth, using low-tech hand tools, just as the labyrinth makers of ancient times! 

All labyrinths include the PAXworks difference Our artist will "seal-within" the lines, quotations and scriptures chosen by your congregation/community. 

They are delivered complete and ready-to-walk, hand-painted on durable quality poly canvas, canvas #12 duck . Instructions, a storage container, U.S. shipping, & suggestions for usage included!

Fabrics offered:  #12 Canvas Duck /  /Polyester-canvas/

Paxworks uses 12 foot wide bolts of #12 Duck on our 36 ft. canvas labyrinths to reduce the need for seams in the pathways. It takes only  minutes to set up the labyrinth 

We have thoughtfully applied sacred geometry in adapting custom Chartres versions of 3, 5, 7 and 8 circuits. Custom labyrinth designs are available for both indoor and outdoor use.

PAXworks offers "Ready to Draw, materials only" and "Ready to Paint, drawn outline" options. please call us. 317 842 2997

All labyrinths are designed and drawn by resident artisan and labyrinth designer John Ridder!

 

 Chartres Cathedral  

 By far our most popular canvas labyrinth. Our 11-circuit Labyrinths are hand drawn hand painted, to the precise ratios used in the original. Our Chartres style labyrinths include all the unique details! We can hand-craft them in 30-42 ft. sizes. PAXworks uses 12 FOOT WIDE bolts on our 36 foot wide canvas labyrinths to minimize seams in the center and pathways. (there is no extra charge for this quality upgrade)  We also engineer our other sizes to minimize seams. giving a welcoming clear view of the detailed treatments.  DETAILED INFO
