The Ethiopian coptic stitch dates back to the 4th century. It's a beautiful book with an exposed spine in which you can see the sewing of the pages. The coptic stitch book will open flat for maximum use of the pages. It works great for sketchbooks, photo albums and journals. It's also a nice book for recipes because you don't have to hold it open while cooking in the kitchen and it works great as a wedding guestbook too!
All levels of expertise welcome including beginners! Ages 10+ for this class.
Class fee is $25 which includes all the materials you'll need for the book you make and keep!

I love Coptic stitch - it's so attractive and very strong too.
I hope the class is well-attended and goes very well too. (I would come if I lived nearby - I might learn a few new things!) Have a great day!
