We're back with our next bookbinding workshops in Glen Innes!
Join me for a day of crafting your own hardcover Coptic stitch notebooks. Together, we’ll create two beautiful lay-flat books using your choice of decorative papers and traditional bookcloth.
You’ll learn how to construct your own covers from scratch — cutting bookboard, gluing endpapers, and assembling each element with care. After practising the standard Coptic stitch in the morning session, we’ll explore additional embellishments in the afternoon, incorporating special features into your second book.
For now, take a look at some photos from my recent workshops. In one session, a group of lovely women and I created beautiful notebooks using Japanese stab binding, finished with decorative chiyogami and lokta papers. In another class, we explored the Coptic stitch method to craft sturdy, lay-flat notebooks.
I can't wait to get creative with you~
