Materials saved from the landfill:
paper, chipboard

Skills you’ll learn:
sewing signatures, attaching cover boards, coptic stitch, kettle stitch

Learn one of the oldest binding methods dating back to Egypt as early as 200 CE – the coptic stitch. This binding allows the book to lay perfectly flat, which makes these journals perfect for writing, sketching, and staying open as wet media or ink dries. Plus the spine itself is a work of art! Participants will learn to fold signatures, sew exposed spines, how to attach cover boards, and use basic bookbinding tools such as bone folders and awls. We will also cover what materials can be used to create these books that are easily found in your home. Participants are welcome to bring their own decorative papers to use to make their covers or use the materials provided.
