SUMMARY:Coptic Stitch Bookbinding
DESCRIPTION:Learn one of the earliest sewn codex structures in this 
 workshop taught by Kent-based artist Jenniffer Omaitz. Coptic stitch 
 bindings are noted amongst the first codices in history. Much is debated 
 about the early origin\, but this ancient binding has evolved from the 2nd 
 to 4th century. The coptic stitch technique\, although difficult to learn 
 at first\, becomes simple and durable as an exposed sewing across the 
 backbone or spine. The finished product allows the book to lay flat for 
 ease of use. In this class\, we will learn a 6-needle approach to binding 
 that is both fast and strong\, providing a lasting technique for 
 bookbinding.
