Coptic Binding Technique (Hard Cover 5x7 in.) | Dec 14th 10:30-3:30pm

Coptic Binding Technique with Jennifer Daniels
Sunday December 14th, 2025
10:30am - 3:30pm

I’m so excited to teach this workshop on the Coptic binding technique! This is one of my favourite
styles of book to make and I feel it’s a popular one that many want to learn so come learn with
me!

I will teach you to use the bookbinding tools and how to construct this versatile book. We will
make a 5x7 book using a 70lb text-weight paper for the pages and binder’s board covered in
your choice of decorative paper for the cover. While I will teach the basic stitching for this
structure during this class, the exposed spine leaves lots of room for getting creative with your
stitching as you experiment and make more books! I can’t wait to see what you create!
No previous bookbinding experience is needed but basic measuring and cutting skills are
helpful.

Materials that students will bring:

If you have a decorative paper you want to use for the cover, you can bring it. 2 sheets of at
least 7x9 inches or one sheet that can be cut down.

All other materials are provided
