ABOUT THE COURSE

Coptic binding refers to methods of bookbinding developed by early Christians in Egypt and has been used from as early as the 2nd Century AD. It involves sewing pages together in sections so you can make up books with as many pages and sections as you like.You will get extensive notes to take home. All materials are included so you don't have to bring a thing, but if you have some fancy paper or card you would like to use bring it along. This workshop is suitable for people with no experience at all and you will go home with a small journal sized book that you have made, which you can keep or give as gift.
