the PAXworks difference

quotations and scriptures sealed within the labyrinth

As a special service , our artists hand-write quotations chosen by your community inside the lines prior to painting. During the painting of your labyrinth, the quotations are read out loud by the artist, then the lines are painted and the quotations are covered & sealed within the labyrinth forever. When building outdoors, a 'time capsule' of mementos, quotations and prayers can be buried in your outdoor labyrinth project. please let us know of other quotations that you like. PAXworks is the only major labyrinth maker offering this service!
