Single-needle Coptic Stitch Bookbinding Workshop

This bookbinding workshop teaches you how make hard cover board covers, fold pages and add section wrappers, then sew a Coptic bound notebook.

You will be guided step by step to sew your notebook with a single needle Coptic stitch using coloured linen thread.

Coptic bound books have a beautiful structure that allows the book to open out flat, making them a joy to work in.

We will be using a choice of papers with coloured linen thread, so you will be able to customise your design, making your books truly unique to you.

All materials and the Eventbrite booking fees are included in your ticket.

Some sewing or basic bookbinding skills would be helpful however participant numbers are kept low to allow plenty of one to one time and help if needed.

The workshop is held in the dedicated workshop studio on the first floor at Fisherton Mill in Salisbury. Participant numbers are limited to 6 to allow plenty of working space and 1:1 support from your tutor, Tamsin Loveday.

Refreshments are available from the excellent Fisherton Mill Cafe where participants can benefit from a generous 20% discount on lunches.
