The outer, triangular 'piercing' that surrounds the arcs is accomplished by using center F and one center of each of the three 'eyes'; for example: from centers A, C and F as shown in the left piercing, above. 12 G<strong>OTHIC</strong> TRACERY Continue around until the design is complete. Trefoils decorate the clerestory at St. Denis, Paris.
Quatrefoil 13 G<strong>OTHIC</strong> TRACERY Typical of Gothic and Moorish architecture, the quatrefoil is based on circles within circles... To find your center point, divide the width and length of a square; then divide again by joining the four corners to arrive at eight sections as shown. From the center point, inscribe a circle. Now divide the horizontal and vertical center lines into equal quarters. Use these center points to inscribe the four foils.
