Long Description:
Step into the rich tradition of handmade books in this workshop where you'll create your own Coptic-bound journal from start to finish. Perfect for anyone interested in the art of bookbinding, this hands-on class guides you through creating a beautiful, functional book.
You'll learn fundamental Coptic bookbinding techniques, creating a journal that opens completely flat. We'll discuss signature preparation, proper paper grain direction, and folding techniques.
The heart of the workshop focuses on the distinctive Coptic stitch. You'll learn proper tension and thread techniques to create an elegant chain pattern along the exposed spine. Each step will be demonstrated clearly, with plenty of practice time. You'll leave with a completed journal and the skills to continue creating handbound books at home.
