Deconstructed & Reclaimed: A Coptic Bookbinding Workshop

Posted on January 12, 2017 by sproutspress

I’ll be teaching the Coptic stitch in this workshop, I’d love if you joined me! This is the perfect class for those wanting to learn how to make a hardcover book, without the need for a book press.

Learn how to craft your own hand-bound hardcover journal using discarded books. This workshop will introduce you to the tools of the trade, materials, and techniques to deconstruct a book and repurpose it into a new journal, using the Coptic stitch to bind the book.

When: Saturday January 21, 2017 10am – 5pm
Where: CBBAG (Canadian Bookbinders and Book Artists Guild), 80 Ward St. Toronto
