This weekend workshop will explore the timeless art of Coptic sewing with an alternative material for the covers. Over the course of two days, you will be guided through the process of binding a book using the traditional Coptic stitch method, which creates a beautifully exposed spine and allows your book to lay flat when open. In combination with the technique, we will provide wood for the covers of the books. 

Whether you’re a beginner or looking to refine your skills, this workshop is perfect for anyone wanting to explore the craft of bookbinding. All materials and refreshments are provided—bring your creativity and leave with a finished functional blank book!

Language: English & Afrikaans

Cost: R1250 (all materials and refreshments included)
