Minimum: 3 Maximum: 12

This workshop is for anyone interested in learning the technique of coptic bookbinding, making their own art journals, books, or a gift for a friend. Enjoy a relaxed afternoon tearing down paper, cutting and gluing covers unique to your own taste, and sewing a strong and lovely binding.

*Come enjoy an afternoon learning how to make your own coptic-bound sketchbook or journal. This coptic-bound book will lay flat, making it a joy to work with and lovely to behold and hold! No previous knowledge is required to attend. This process involves utilizing sharp blades, a bit of muscle, and can be hard on arthritic hands at certain points. Handmade books are a treasure to use yourself or to share with someone you cherish. Each participant will make their own blank book, with paper torn and folded, covers chosen, cut and glued, and bindings sewn together all by themselves. Learn this little-known art and share it with others!
