About this Event

Ideal for beginners and creative practitioners, this hands-on session introduces an ancient binding technique known for its exposed spine and distinctive chain-stitch structure, allowing books to open completely flat.

Participants will be guided through the process of assembling and sewing their own multi-section book using paper, thread, and simple tools. You’ll develop an understanding of structure, sequencing, and stitching, while creating a durable and visually striking handmade book.

This relaxed and supportive workshop is perfect for those interested in book arts, printmaking, or developing their craft skills. By the end of the session, you’ll take home a beautifully bound Coptic book and the knowledge to continue exploring this versatile binding technique in your own practice.
