In this workshop, students will learn to sew a 4-needle Coptic binding. Emphasis in this class will be placed on board preparation, drilling and channeling v-groove sewing holes, and multi-needle sewing. Decorative design techniques such as inset windows will also be covered.
Students in this class will be provided with a descriptive handout and materials list in advance of the class to allow students to bind along with the instructor during the demonstration.
This is an online class. Information about participating by zoom will be sent to all participants in advance. We encourage you to enroll early so you can gather the materials and supplies and work along during the class.
