The Coptic/Link Stitch workshop

Yesterday I had a great workshop and a fun group of students to work with. Also was a perfect, sunny day in the sculpture garden. It was the first time I was offering this kind of bookbinding class and I definally offer it again at the DeCordova, in the fall. The link stitch binding it's a simple, elegant style of sewing and the Cave Paper on the cover, leaves a soft, fully textured touch to the final book. Here below hands working during the class and lovely notes and drawings from one of the students.
