Discover the meditative and rewarding craft of bookbinding in this hands-on workshop led by local artist Kat Parker.
Perfect for beginners and creatives alike, Kat will guide you through the process of constructing your own unique hand-bound book using the timeless Coptic stitch technique – a binding style favoured for its durability and ability to lie flat, making it ideal for journaling, writing, or sketching.
Over three hours, you’ll learn how to:
- Design and create sturdy, fabric-covered covers
- Fold and prepare paper into signatures (page groupings)
- Pierce and bind your book using the elegant Coptic stitch
- Finish with a handcrafted book that lies flat – perfect for capturing spontaneous thoughts or artworks on the go
This workshop is ideal for people aged 16 years and older.
