This is a one-day workshop that will introduce basic Coptic stitch binding from cover to cover. Students will learn how to create a small book with a single-needle approach and a multiple-needle approach. This beginning approach will allow students to master the basic structure and rhythm to complete a single book or graduate with more complicated stitch techniques. No prior experience required!
