Bookbinding - Make your own journal

Service Description

Have you always wanted to make your own handcrafted journal that you can write in, draw in, and keep special treasures in? Learn the ancient art of coptic bookbinding from fine artist Kristianne Riddle. This engaging, hands-on class with Kristianne teaches the simple art of sewing signatures of paper together to form a book. In the coptic style, the pages of the book open and lay flat so you can draw easily on each and every page.

You will take home a completed journal and the understanding of how to simply bind paper together to create more hand bound journals on your own.
