ICMA-Pop-Ups in Kalamazoo
Coptic-Stitch Binding Workshop (with studio tour)
Kalamazoo Book Arts Center
Saturday, June 26, 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. (box lunches provided)
Please join us for the inaugural ICMA-Pop-Ups event, organized by Elizabeth Teviotdale. ICMA-Pop-Ups is a new program through which we help ICMA members organize small regional gatherings, bringing people together after our period of social distancing.
About the event:
The coptic-bound book dates back almost 2,000 years, originating in Egypt and used by the Copts. This style of binding uses a chain link-stitch along an exposed spine, creating a book that is ideal for journaling or sketching as the pages lie completely flat when opened. For your cover, choose from KBAC’s selection of decorative paper, or bring along your own to further personalize your book. This workshop is led by Katie Platte, printmaker and KBAC's Studio Manager.
Space is limited to 12 participants. Sign up to grab a spot now!
Each ICMA member may register up to one guest.
All MDHHS guidelines concerning physical distancing and masking will be observed.
