Art in Nature: Coptic Stitch Book Binding with Anna Amiradaki

Join the Barrington Land Conservation Trust and local artist Anna Amiradaki for a hands-on workshop on Coptic stitch book binding on Thursday, October 8 at 6 pm. The Coptic stitch is one of the oldest binding structures in the world, used by monks to bind sacred texts. Its exposed spine is considered a mark of honest craft. In this workshop, participants make a hand-sewn art journal from scratch — folding signatures, piercing paper, sewing each section with linen thread in a structure that holds without glue and lies completely flat when open. Everyone will leave with a finished journal and the knowledge to make another. Free and open to adults. Space is limited. REGISTER HERE Sponsored by the Barrington Land Conservation Trust
