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).

  • 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.

Treats and plenty of ball throwing with these doggie toy
Size: Medium (2.5"), Style: Fetch Pack 1
I have actually purchased these twice already. I love the one that glows in the dark but it still got lost in my yard lol. My dog is a big breed half pitt/Labrador so she did chew through one of them already. I play ball with her every single day but I DO have to take them away from her because she will destroy them. They are great to add in treats as well, that was one of the my favorite things about them as well. They do last just if you have an over zealous chewer do not let them keep them for long periods of time. They are a good value for the price. Buy them your dog will love it!

My Female GSD loves
Size: Medium (2.5"), Style: Fetch Pack 1, Size: Medium (2.5"), Style: Fetch Pack 1
Shasta is my smallest. Six in December (2025) along with her brother. She’s 100 lbs and outside, completely ball driven see last picture. Don’t let the size (2.5”) of these Chuck-It balls deter you. If your larger Breed dog has any orthopedic issues, has already torn their ACL etc, one has arthritis but wants to play. This size is perfect! Shazzy was born with several ortho issues. I don’t throw balls distance but right to her. This size and lighter weight assure even when Shazzy is spazzy w excitement, she’ll catch the ball mid air. The green balls are softer, and glow in the dark. In summer we can play well past dusk and I can see them! Her personality shows in the pictures. Playing ball is part of her. These balls are just perfect for her situation. Somehow they disappear, she loves making baskets, puts them in my tractor bucket, or my gardening bucket..then get put in burn pile, trash etc. I keep replacing them because she’d look day and night if we actually ran out!! 🙏✝️👍🏼👍🏼

Heavy chewer approved.
Style: Ball, Size: Medium (Pack of 1)
My pomsky will destroy a toy in minutes. Ropes, and the "indestructible" nylon type stuffs are no match for my furry shark. This ball has stood up to him like David. He loves the crunch and it is so much more tolerable than a squeaker. These will be a staple in his toy box - Chuckit toys are really the most durable dog toys I have found in three years.
