Course Overview
Coptic Manuscripts bound with single and multi-quire bindings were made as early as 4th century CE. Deriving from this ancient binding, contemporary Coptic binding generally referred to books which are bound with unsupported link sewing where the cover boards are sewn together with the text block.
In this series of workshops, learn to:
- Decorate a cover board with handmade, block-printed papers
- Sew sections of papers onto the covers
- Learn about different variants of Coptic binding to make your book more interesting.
Phew ! This is the hardest thus far. And yet, really enjoyable session.
