Coptic Bind Journal
April 27, 2-4p.m.
Registration Required
Ages 14 and up
The second in a series of 3 workshops that bring art and poetry together with Jeannette Stockton. In this workshop, participants will be making a Coptic bound book, an ancient form of bookbinding using repurposed book covers. Coptic binds are tricky but special, this book can open completely flat and has a decorative open edge spine which highlights the knots that are part of this traditional bind.
If you’d like to join, you can even use your own book covers. Just let us know what size the cover is for paper sizing.
And be ready to concentrate! The instructions for making one usually takes up many pages in a how to book. I’ve got it down to 8 phrases so come let’s bind together and have some fun.
This program is possible due to a grant from the Wendell Cultural Council, a local agency funded by Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.”
