Coptic Bookbinding

Two Day Course: Sat 7 – Sun 8 Dec

SESSION DATES:

Bookbinder Esther Williams will take you through how to prepare signatures, wax your own thread, and the traditional method of Coptic stitch.

On Day 1, you will make an A5 Coptic bound book with a simple stitch pattern.

On Day 2, you will make a second book where you can experiment with designs and more decorative stitch patterns whilst consolidating the method.
