Coptic Binding Workshop

Join professional bookbinder Janita Ayton for a hands-on introduction to the beautiful Coptic stitch. In this 3-hour workshop, you’ll learn how to create a book that lies perfectly flat when open, using one of the oldest bookbinding techniques in the world. Step by step, you’ll prepare pages, boards, and sew them together with exposed stitching along the spine. By the end, you’ll have your own handmade book to take home and the skills to continue exploring this versatile binding style.
