Leather Longstitch Book class in Provo Tomorrow!

This binding created during the Medieval era in Germany. This style of book lays flat when open, and can fold back on itself, sort of like a spiral notebook can. This is the style I use for my own journal!

Coptic Stitch Class at Provo Art & Frame

I'll be teaching the Ethiopian Coptic Stitch at the studio above Provo Art & Frame. The class goes from 6 - 8:30 pm and the $25 class fee includes all the materials you'll need to make your book. You'll design, create and keep your own book!

Ethiopian Coptic Stitch Journal

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.

If you'd like to attend the class, please sign up by emailing me at KarleighJae@gmail.com

Please bring the following tools:

Pencil

Cutting mat (or old magazine to cut on)

x-acto type craft knife or utility knife

Scissors

Metal Edge Ruler

Bonefolder (available at Provo Art & Frame, ask or a student discount for taking my class)
