History

Our Chief Geometer and Labyrinth Builder David Tolzmann built his first Chartres Replica™ labyrinth in 1995. He was drafted onto the project by a group of ladies in his church near Baltimore, and was able to translate their 2" photocopied diagram onto a 30' canvas floor cloth in one day. David's wife, Lee Ann, helped paint the labyrinth, and became involved in facilitating labyrinth walks. The labyrinth was rented out to other churches in the area, and several requested David's help building their own labyrinths. His ability to deal intelligently with the geometry of labyrinths and the practical aspects of getting them built efficiently spread by word of mouth.

In 1998 Lee Ann entered General Theological Seminary (Episcopal) in New York City. By that time David was receiving 6 calls per week from across the United States requesting assistance with labyrinth projects. David decided to found The Labyrinth Company to formalize his role in the burgeoning labyrinth field, and based the business in Baltimore initially while commuting to a second studio located beneath the chapel at the Seminary in New York.

By 2004 The Labyrinth Company had perfected its award-winning Paver Labyrinth Kit™ system, enabling contractors throughout the world to complete beautiful and precise paver labyrinths efficiently. Systematic intelligent effort has gone into our full range of Floor Labyrinth Kits, Garden Labyrinth Templates™ and Stencil & Mask products. In 2008, the company moved to its current headquarters in Riverside, Connecticut.
