In my Coptic Stitch Rescued book class at Art Is You in Danbury, CT, learn Coptic Stitch using the double needle technique and re-invent a treasured book.
Here, for you, is a very simple take on restoring a rescued book.
Enjoy. There is more to come as I tempt you with classes at venues, online and in my studio in the coming "school year."
WHAT IS THE DATE OF YOUR WORKSHOP????
