About the event
Overview
Forget boring store-bought notebooks - this is your chance to stitch together a sketchbook that’s as original as your ideas. We’ll dive into the centuries-old Coptic binding technique, giving it a modern, DIY twist using eco-friendly, quality materials. You’ll leave with a handmade book that lies flat, ready to catch doodles, half-formed plans, or your next big masterpiece.
What You’ll Master:
Learn the Coptic stitch (ancient, but still cooler than anything mass-produced).
Hand-sew your own A5 sketchbook using sustainable materials.
