  Tom Bree is a geometer-artist, teacher and writer living in Wells in south-west England. He teaches practical geometry classes and gives talks in the UK and abroad but primarily for the Prince’s Foundation School of Traditional Arts in London where he also studied under the renowned Master-Geometer Professor Keith Critchlow. For the past decade Tom has been slowly studying the use of geometry, cosmology and musical ratios in Gothic cathedral design with a particular emphasis upon the first English Gothic cathedral in his hometown of Wells. He is about to publish a large and fully illustrated book on the subject called The Cosmos in Stone. Tom has also recently instigated an educational project in Wells called ‘The Wells Institute for Sophia in Education (‘WISE’)’, which fuses practical arts with philosophy in the light of sacred tradition.
