Masterclass: The Catalan Solids
The Complete Course to Drawing and Building the Forms
Masterclass Summary
This Masterclass focuses on drawing and building the Catalan Solids. These sessions were recorded with advanced Knew Geometry apprentices in 19 sessions as each form was drawn from different orthographic perspectives 2-, 3-, and 5-fold symmetry. These solids are the dual forms of the Archimedean solids. Drawings of each form will illustrate face, edge, or vertex perspectives of the forms. These solids are the duals of the Archimedean solids and have faces that are not regular polygons.
In total we completed 33 drawings of 11 of the 13 solids. We did not do any drawings of the pentagonal Icositetrahedron or pentagonal hexecontahedron which is dual of the Snub Cube and Snub dodecahedron respectively, as they have been proven to not be drawable with compass and straight edge techniques.
The nets for the forms will be provided so you can construction the forms and study them as we do the drawings from multiple perspectives . Drawing the Catalan Solids is a great follow up to the Archimedean Solids series as it continue to deepen your understanding of the pattern language of Sacred geometry while mastering Knew Geometry's creative discovery process, methods, and techniques used to draw these enchantingly beautiful forms.
Draw and Build these forms In Part 1
- Triakis Tetrahedron
- Rhombic Dodecahedron

MASTERCLASS focus
The Catalan Solids has a range of drawings that are suitable for advanced geometers. However, a beginner with some prior drawing experience can get started with Part 1 and continue on to Part 2. If you've never participated in a Knew Geometry 1-1 or apprenticeship please contact to discuss if this course it an appropriate starting place. This will certainly be a rewarding experience, as drawing the Catalan Solids from multiple perspectives is an incredible accomplishment along your Knew journey of discovery!
- Understanding the multi-faceted relationships of these forms enhances your understanding of all other aspects of Sacred Geometry
- Enhance your creative intuition by engaging with the forms, allowing them to directly express their intelligence
