About the Event
Join us in celebrating Central Library's 100th birthday! In this workshop, Nova Community Arts will teach you how to bind and create your very own book. We will be creating a Coptic-bound hardcover book with acrylic covers. You will learn how to fold the paper into signatures and hand-sew the pages and covers together using the traditional Coptic stitch technique. This is a hands-on, person activity where participants will learn bookbinding skills as they hand-stitch together their own hardcover book. We will provide all materials. You’ll leave with your very own book that makes a great sketchbook, planner, or note-taker!
Limited spots available. An RSVP is required at westla@lapl.org or 310-575-8323.
