Bookplay: An Introduction to Handmade Books
Coptic Stitch Journal
The Coptic stitch is a beautiful, braided bookbinding stitch that is visible as a design element along the spine of the book. In addition to its aesthetic appeal, the Coptic stitch also enables you to open the book flat on any page - perfect for journaling or painting in your sketchbook. After you've mastered this versatile stitch, you'll be able to craft books in any size with covers and papers that are limited only by your imagination.
If you've ever contemplated making your own unique books, this is the class for you!
No previous bookbinding experience necessary. Practice makes perfect!
