Coptic Bound Journal Workshop with Erin Keane at The Lucy Clark Gallery & Studio

In this class, we will create a beautiful blank journal using Paired Needle Coptic Stitch, which is a specific form of Coptic binding that uses multiple needles and multiple threads. Your journal will have a lovely chain stitch at every sewing station, and it will be structurally strong and highly functional. 

All materials and tools will be provided, so you can arrive empty handed and relax into the experience. If you already have personal bookbinding tools and find them most comfortable, please feel welcome to bring along. For the book covers, I’ll have a variety of decorative papers to choose from including Nepalese Lokta, Indian cotton, Japanese Chiyogami. If you prefer your own decorative paper, please feel welcome to bring along (for space and efficiency, please pre-cut the paper to 8.5” x 11”). 

All skill levels welcome.
