Learn the ancient, traditional bookbinding technique of Coptic stitching and create a handmade book!
In this workshop, you will learn the book-making process, starting with covers all the way through to a completed, bound sketckbook/journal. Your creative hand will be in every part of the process.
You will have the option to use multi-media paper or white card stock, depending on the book you'd like to make. Cover papers, fabrics and handmade paper from the Wild Arts studio will also be available for use.
In the first part of class, you will learn about the history of the first book and the ancient technique of the Coptic stitch. You will prepare your materials by making the covers of your book and folding your signatures.
Next, we stitch! We will create templates for our sewing stations, learn the stitching process and then work until completed.
All materials + snacks + coffee/tea are provided.
This workshop is for adults and hosted at the Wild Arts Learning Center in Springfield, MO. For locals: just out east Sunshine and around the bend from Turner's Station off J Hwy. The address and directions are emailed upon booking.
