Coptic Binding Workshop
March 11th
Crymych
ONLY ONE PLACE LEFT ON THIS COURSE
Books using Coptic Binding

Make a coptic bound book with hard covers and a decorative stitched open spine, suitable for use as a sketchbook, notebook, diary or journal. 
During this one day workshop participants will complete an A5 size book (portrait format) filled with drawing quality paper.
Coptic binding secures the pages so that they will open flat on a table : it enables you to combine multiple types of paper within one book.
Skills required: Just accurate measurement, a bit of patience and simple sewing skills required

as soon as possible
