Course Details
Coptic binding is one of the earliest forms of creating a book, with raw simplicity you can produce a book of any size with the unique feature of opening out flat. No special tools or materials are needed and yet a wide spectrum of creative results can be created, from a notebook, sketch book and album to a highly crafted artwork. The books themselves can be made from found items, recycled material or quality art papers and card.
