Coptic Binding with Vintage Book Covers

Watkins Community Education offers a hands-on bookbinding workshop on June 21-22, 2025, where participants will create a journal using repurposed vintage book covers and the Coptic binding technique. This method results in beautiful exposed stitching along the spine and allows the pages to lay completely flat for easy journaling or sketching. Open to all skill levels, the workshop provides all materials, with the option to select from a supply of vintage books or bring a personal favorite. Classes take place on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. The cost is $125. Learn more HERE.
