Coptic Journals

Join me for a wonderful new offering: Coptic-bound Travel Journals. The coptic bookbinding technique dates back to the 2nd Century AD, and creates a flexible book with an exposed spine. 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, mixed media paper and others. All the paper and covers 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 class is for adults with previous experience with bookbinding.

​

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

Meet at Art Emergency, 721 E 9th Street at 1 pm
