Making Artists' Books with Jasmine Begeske
Bookmaking workshop: Coptic Stitch
The Coptic Stitch will add a decorative element to the exposed spine of your book. This stitch will allow the book to lie flat when open. This is considered the first codex in book history when people transitioned from using scrolls to bound books. The Coptic method of binding was first used to bind together leaves of papyrus in Egypt.
Materials: Students should provide a metal ruler, cutting mat, a razor knife, scissors and pencils. *Previous students, you may want to use paper created in a surface design workshop such as Suminagashi, paste papers, collagraph or screen-printing.
Student Age Range: 13 and beyondFor More Information, Contact:
