Making a Coptic Stitch Watercolor/ Sketch Book

This workshop will guide students through the process of making a coptic stitch book with watercolor paper, although other types of paper would work as well. Coptic stitch binding allows a book to open flat and provides a comfortable work surface, which is great for working en plein air. It also provides the opportunity to customize a sketchbook in terms of preferred scale and paper.
