Coptic Stitch Journal Making Workshop

Ever wanted to make your own journal from scratch? Join this hands-on bookbinding workshop and learn the art of Coptic stitch binding, one of the oldest bookbinding techniques and a great starting point for beginners.

You'll be guided through every step of the process, from crafting your hardcover with handmade and printed papers to folding page sections and stitching everything together. You'll also learn how to create partial signature covers, a special design detail that lets your cover artwork flow into the inside of your journal.

The finished journal features a beautiful exposed spine and a sturdy hardcover, making it a lovely place to keep sketches, pressed flowers, favorite quotes, personal notes, and little keepsakes.
