Book Making - Coptic Binding
Holding a well-made handbound book is a rare and rewarding experience, especially when you have made it yourself. In this course, learn how to produce a beginning level Coptic-bound book.
Coptic binding was developed in Egypt by the early Christians known as Copts and used from the 2nd through the 11th centuries. In this style of binding, the book sections are sewn through the fold and attached to each other with link stitches. The spine is exposed, creating a decorative element.
Students are guided through the book construction process from start to finish. They also explore various binding materials, such as handmade papers and creative cover choices.
This binding technique can be easily replicated at home.
Students will bring back 2 bound books.

About the Artist, Nadrah Maidin
I’m Nadhrah, full time crafter. My life is somewhat obsessed with scrapbooking. To me, everyday is a page waiting to be created and being immersed in paper, photos, embellishments and all things scrap related is my life and what makes me happiest. I’ve been scrapping for years now and i do owned a store in my area to provide scrapbook services for the people who loves my ideas. And my bigger dream was to be able to share this passion with other scrappers out there, in any way possible.
I’m so in love with scrapbooking that I always have to have the latest idea book and cracking my head out for inspiration and looking for new supplies with great new products...or thinking of great colour schemes and designs for my next project.
My family’s resigned to the fact that their daughter, wife and mother come in a package…and that scrapping is part of me….and what I will always love to do….my poor family has been endlessly photographed and used for my various layouts too......LOL!
In a nutshell, I do what I do for the love of the craft and the joy of sharing it to others!
