Learn how to hand-bind your own blank book! In this workshop you will learn the Coptic method of binding which results in a book with a beautifully stitched spine that lays flat when opened- perfect for a sketchbook or journal. We will leave the binding exposed to show off your handiwork. You'll do every step by hand, from folding the individual pages with a bone folder, to poking holes with an awl, sewing with a curved needle and linen thread, and finally gluing the soft cover together with archival book glue. No experience necessary. ALL materials are included. Class is limited, register now and mark your calendars!
