Workshop Description:
This sturdy journal has two unique features: repurposed cigar boxes for covers and a two needle Coptic stitch binding that dates back to the second century A.D. We will start the class by going over some basic bookbinding terminology and the basics of sewing a coptic binding, working with multiple needles to bind the signatures and the covers together with this unique and sculptural binding.
The instructor supply pre-drilled cigar box covers for the class, and will also explain how to modify the measurements to work for other sized covers. There will be a variety of cigar box covers to choose from for the class.
