Get ready to explore one of the most ancient bookbinding techniques - Coptic binding! Perfect for journaling or sketching, Coptic-bound books possess an exposed spine that allows the book to lay completely flat when opened. In this hands-on, intermediate-level workshop, students will create a multi-signature hardcover journal. Together, we will cover signature preparation, cover attachment, and the distinctive chain stitch pattern that characterizes Coptic binding. By the end, you'll leave with both your completed hardcover journal and the skills to create more at home! Some prior experience with bookbinding is helpful, but not required.
