At this week's Book Arts Lounge: Coptic Binding!

Learn Coptic Binding, a basic binding stitch that is ancient and effective, producing books that are both sturdy and flexible. In this crash course, we'll create small books using a stitch with origins among the early Coptic Christians of Egypt. The product is a volume that opens flat (great for journals and artists' books) and has an exposed spine that showcases the handsome stitchery. If you like, bring your own decorative papers (heavier, cover-weight paper is best) to use for covers. We'll also have plenty of materials on hand.
