Description
Coptic Bookbinding workshop
(hardcover book with window)
In this session, paper craftswoman Tünde Szentgyörgyi will show step-by-step the tools, materials and applications needed to make hand-bound books.
Coptic binding (or Coptic sewing) refers to the bookbinding methods used by the early Egyptian Christians, the Copts.
Participants will learn this ancient technique, the basic steps of accurate measuring and cutting, paper handling, folding, gluing and sewing. At the end of the workshop, they will take home a beautifully stitched book of their own making and a mown pencil, which they can later make at home without the use of special tools.
Participation does not require any previous experience or training in bookbinding.
Beginners and advanced players are welcome, from the age of 16.
Participation fee: 14 500 HUF/person, which includes the necessary materials and the use of tools.
