IN PERSON CLASS
A Monthly Series of Book Arts classes taught by Bridget O’Malley
December: Coptic Binding
This historic binding dates to the 2nd century in Egypt and surrounding areas. It is still used today due to its strength and flexibility. The finished book opens flat, making it a popular choice for sketching and writing journals. In this version we’ll be sewing with 2 colors of thread and 2 needles, attaching to a soft cover.
Please wear masks during in-person classes at Wet Paint. If you are having any COVID or cold-like symptoms even if you have been vaccinated, please do not come to the class. Thanks!
