Get to grips with Coptic Binding with this course and kit combo – a decorative stitch that makes for a great sketchbook, Artists Book, photo album and/or memory book.

This popular bookbinding technique features a hard cover, decorative exposed stitching and visible spine. The book opens nice and flat and there are lots of opportunities to experiment with colour/pattern combinations on the cover, spine and inside decorative pages – a great book structure that you’ll come back to again and again.

The kit comes with everything you need to make an A6 portrait and A7 landscape book and my comprehensive video tutorials take you through the making process step-by-step, from creating collaged book covers, and preparing your pages, to stitching your book and adding a nifty closure.

How this course is taught?

Via a series of step-by-step video tutorials, which you can work through at your own pace. These are accompanied by a downloadable document with links to recommended suppliers, advice on sourcing & prepping materials and info on how to make books of different sizes should you want to make more - bookbinding is an addictive craft, you’ve been warned!
