arrow_right_alt arrow_downwardI like big books & I cannot lie! In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn the ancient craft of bookbinding and focus on the Coptic style.Â
Created by the ancient Egyptians, the Coptic style of binding is a timeless way to create a book with a visible spine stitch and a hardback cover. Perfect for visual diaries, photo albums, digital media portfolios, and a host of other applications.
We’ll start with the basics, discussing materials and various tools needed, then jump straight into learning the technique behind the trademark Coptic spine stitch. This style resembles a chain stitch as used in embroidery and creates a book that has each page open perfectly flat. Once we’ve covered the basics, you’ll spend the rest of the session binding and crafting your own bespoke hardcover book to take home.Â
No experience is necessary and all materials are provided.Â
Come along and have fun creating your very own handmade Coptic spine book to take home.Â
Please note: This class requires at least five students to run. In the unlikely event that we don't get this number of students, we'll cancel the class and fully refund you and inform you via email, so please watch your email a few days prior to the class
Please note: This venue is located on the first floor via a flight of stairs and does not have wheelchair accessibility.
