Coptic Bookbinding Workshop. Learn how to make a beautifully bound journal or sketchbook in this Coptic Bookbinding Workshop. The Coptic stitch is one of the oldest bookbinding stitches known and it allows the book to fold out completely flat.

The session is ideal for anyone with an interest in bookbinding who would like to while away a few creative hours in the studio creating something quite wonderful.

All materials and resources are provided, so you don’t need to bring anything.

Suitable for aged 16 years+.

 

On the Day

Over the afternoon you will learn how to bind a book using the Coptic stitch technique as well as learning about the tools and materials you will need.

You will make a decoratively bound, A5, hard backed journal or sketchbook that opens out completely flat using the traditional and intricate hand stitched binding technique which dates back over 2000 years.

At the end of the session you will be able to take away the skills and book that you have made. There will be a chance to ask questions and put what you have learned into practice!
