Maker Studio: Introduction to Coptic Stitch Bookbinding
Elaisha Hilliard leads a hands-on intro workshop on Coptic stitch bookbinding on Saturday, November 21, at 10 a.m. at Ford House in Grosse Pointe Shores. It’s beginner-friendly, and you’ll leave with a finished hardcover book.

This two-hour, hands-on workshop walks you through the basics of Coptic stitch bookbinding from start to finish. You’ll prepare and fold paper signatures, sew the pages, and build and attach hardcover boards. The session also covers the essential tools, materials, and techniques used along the way.
No experience needed—just dive in and make a book. Held in the Jensen/Kahn Rooms at Ford House, and you’ll head out with your own completed hardcover book.
