Course Code: 26SBB303I

This two-day, in-person workshop takes place on  Saturday and Sunday, May 2nd - 3rd, from 11AM to 5PM ET 

  • Saturday May 2nd, from 11AM to 5PM ET
  • Sunday May 3rd, from 11AM to 5PM ET 

Please Note: Registration for this workshop closes on April 18th, at 11:59pm Eastern Time.


About the Workshop:

Building on the skills from Bookbinding IV, this workshop will review sewing while controlling the book swell for rounding the spine. We will then build on our headband previous experience by sewing a double core French headband, and prepare our text blocks for inboard covers. Special attention will be given to pairing the leather, and to all the steps leading to building a half-bound leather book (leather spine and corners).


Required Materials:

  • Pencil and paper for note-taking
  • Bone folder
  • Olfa knife and blades

All other materials will be provided by the Center for Book Arts at no additional cost.


About the Instructor:

Ana Paula Cordeiro is a Brazilian national, New York City -based visual artist working primarily in the book form. The co-author of a book about making books called Bookforms, she has also co-organized the multi-media installation Introspective Collective at The Clemente. She was awarded a grant from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation and an Honorable Mention at the International Human Rights Arts Festival Creators of Justice Award for her essay “Citizen”. In 2024, she had her first solo show in the US at the Gallatin Galleries, and she was awarded The Governor’s Medal of Arts and Culture during the Hispanic Heritage Month celebrations. Ana is graduating in 2026 as Dean Scholar for the Arts in the MA program at the Gallatin School of Individualized Studies at NYU, with a concentration titled “The Collective Introspective: How Artist’s Books Can Sabotage Patriarchy and Colonialism”.

Artist books can be a solitary practice, but as the Introspective Collective manifesto states, no artist is an island. Ana Paula thrives in the shared space, having been a part of the Center for Book Arts communal shop for her entire career. She was a resident at the LMCC Arts Center in Governors Island and a research fellow at Hispanic Society Museum and Library, which became her sponsor for a regrant by NYSCA. Ana Paula has an extensive exhibition history, and her artist books are collected privately and institutionally.

Good, but minor issues
The build quality seemed impressive and it felt sturdy. When installed, it definitely stayed in the air vent without wiggling or coming loose after quite a bit of off roading and driving over washboards. I returned this thing and bought the "off roam" competitor because of two reasons: 1) the ball joints don't tighten down hard enough to lock the position of the mount firmly. It grips well when you don't touch it, but if you are trying to put the phone into the mount without both hands, it shifts and moves with minimal pressure. Kind of annoying for me, I feel the ball joints should tighten enough not to budge if given a tiny bit of force or accidental bump. 2) the inner springs of the phone holder started loosening and making an obnoxious vibrating/rattling sound after about a month. Any bump or minor rough surface caused this thing to rattle like loose change in a cup holder IF THE PHONE WASNT IN IT. If the phone was in the holder it didn't do this at all. It started to drive me crazy. If you can get past these two things it's built well enough and works perfectly fine. I just expect a bit more for $50-$60.
