Bookarts: Coptic Stitch

IPRC (Independent Publishing Resource Center) 318 SE Main Street #175, Portland, OR, United States

In this 3 hour workshop, participants will learn how to create an exposed spine bound book. Commonly referred to as coptic or link stitch binding, the advantage of a section sewn binding is a spine that opens completely so that pages lie flat. Participants will come away from the workshop equipped with a basic understanding of the tools required for bookbinding, and will create one coptic bound book by hand. All materials and supplies provided. Beginners welcome.
