Abstract: In this class we will make a 5x7 art journal. Learn the art of the Coptic stitch for your elegant book which highlights this unique exposed sewing style.  One of the features of Coptic sewn books is they lay perfectly flat when opened, making the pages easy to write or draw on. There will be a selection of pre-cut decorative papers for your book covers as well as various colors of waxed thread for sewing.
All aspects of the book will be discussed: covers, spine, end papers, and signatures.
