Coptic Bookbinding Workshop

Coptic bookbinding is a very simple binding method that doesn’t take long to master. It’s one of the earliest styles of bookbinding, and it produces a hardcover book that lays perfectly flat. One of the nicest features of this binding is the beautiful exposed spine.

In this class, you will learn:

• Paper Grain Identification
• Coptic Binding Methods
• How to Prepare Signatures
• How to Cover Boards with Decorative Paper
