SUMMARY:Coptic Bookbinding: the Original Codex\, with Anneka Baird

STATUS:CONFIRMED
DESCRIPTION:Coptic Bookbinding was developed by the Egyptian Copts in the 2
 nd century A.D. and represents the earliest known form of a true codex. Th
 is multi-section\, non-adhesive binding features an exposed spine which re
 veals the decorative\, braid-like sewing of the binding -- commonly known 
 as a chain stitch. These books lay flat when opened\, making them easy to 
 write in and an ideal candidate for journals and notebooks. This class wil
 l include a brief introduction to material considerations and each partici
 pant will bind a book to take home. Words from past participants "Instruct
 or took care to explain concepts multiple times and in different ways so e
 veryone felt supported. It was fun to meet people and learn a new craft to
 gether. The environment was very welcoming for beginners\, so I felt comfo
 rtable asking for help and making mistakes." "It was concise\, interesting
 \, and informative. The instructor was willing to work with each student t
 o make sure they were able to understand and complete the project. I had a
  really great time\, worth the 3 hour drive." Interested in more bookbindi
 ng techniques? Join us for Anneka's morning class\, Long-stitch Bookbindin
