Coptic Stitch Bookbinding
Coptic stitch bookbinding (also called Coptic bookbinding) is a way of binding pages of a book together without the use of glue or staples. Like other types of hand binding, its origins are ancient. A Coptic stitch is a type of stitch used in hand bookbinding to attach the pages and covers together. It’s similar to a chain stitch used in embroidery, in that a chain of knots is formed. The stitch forms the outer spine of the book and many beautiful book designs can be made from Coptic stitching.
In this short and informative workshop, you'll learn all about Coptic stitch bookbinding. You'll be taught about bookbinding materials, terminology, and how to assemble the various parts of your book - including paper folding, signatures, hardcovers and bindings. You'll end the session with at least one handmade, hand bound book to take home with you.
