Travel Journals

Create a beautiful Coptic-bound book that lies flat and holds all your travel notes and sketches.

Join me for a wonderful new offering: Coptic-bound Travel Journals. In this advanced book binding workshop students will learn the complicated and beautiful form of exposed Coptic binding. We will make medium sized sketch/scrap books that lay flat when open (perfect for sketching). I will have a variety of paper types that may be incorporated, such as tracing paper, water color paper, graph paper, copy paper and others. All the paper will be pre-cut to size and I will walk you through the many steps required to complete the project. All materials will be provided and you will take home a sturdy and long lasting vessel for your sketches, ideas and saved ephemera.

This is a morning class, held in an air conditioned studio with drinks and light snacks provided.

This class is for adults with previous experience with bookbinding. See my Introduction to Book Binding class on May 30th for a skills-based class that will prepare you for this advanced Coptic book binding class.

​

Due to the complexity of this form, this class will be limited to 8 participants.

​

Meet at Art Emergency, 721 E 9th Street at 9 am.

There are no cash refunds, however the price of the class can be used as credit in a future class, either for yourself or a gift to another, credit towards private lessons or a deposit on a custom commission paper garment.
