{"product_id":"bookbinding","title":"Bookbinding","description":"\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"\u003eIn this intimate class, students will learn the art of coptic bookbinding with Alison Kaplan of Kata Golda Handmade. The coptic bookbinding technique creates a flexible book with an exposed spine, the pages open flat making it the perfect journal for writing and sketching. Building on decades of bookbinding experience, Alison makes this craft feel approachable and adaptable. She will showcase an assortment of finished handbound journals in many sizes so everyone can see the endless possibilities. Participants will make a book covered in plant-dyed organic cotton\/hemp fabric that is 3.25” wide and 4.75” tall and is about .5” thick. The class days are one week apart so participants can work on embellishing their covers and practice stitching additional sections. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"\u003eSession 1: We will begin with an overview of coptic bookbinding and learn about the tools in the bookbinding kit. We will practice ripping paper and sewing\/connecting pamphlets. We will also touch on embellishing covers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"\u003eSession 2: After a week of sewing practice, Alison will answer any questions that came up. We will then glue the cover and back and finish our books. We will discuss adaptations to make books of different sizes and shapes – Alison has many options to share. If time allows, participants will be introduced to two other simple techniques: a pamphlet-style notebook, an accordion book that is perfect for displaying photos or using for watercolor painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"\u003eFriday, January 29th, 2027\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"\u003eAND\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"\u003eFriday, February 5th, 2027\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTime\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"\u003e4:00-6:00 pm ET\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLocation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"\u003eZoom, a link will be sent to participants before class\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCost\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"\u003eVirtual class and kit, $200\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecording\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"\u003eA link to the recording will be emailed to all registrants following the live session.
