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

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.

Great after tretinoin, post laser or for dry skin
This is fantastic post laser treatment. It is such a nice calming texture- no actives at all, just an extremely well formulated moisturizer that feel like silk on the skin. Fantastic and well priced. Great after tretinoin also.

A godsend!!!
Like many others have claimed, this was an absolute godsend for saving my damaged skin barrier. I have combination skin type so gel version was way more effective on my skin than the cream version and did not pill. My only reservation is that it’s such a small amount of product for the price. I felt that I went through this bottle faster than I would have like for the price I paid.

I’ve been really impressed with La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Gel B5. The lightweight gel texture feels soothing and absorbs quickly without leaving my skin greasy or sticky. It has helped calm dry, irritated areas and noticeably improved the appearance of my skin barrier after just a few uses. I especially love that it’s fragrance-free and gentle enough for sensitive skin. It layers well with the rest of my skincare routine and works great on dry patches, redness, and minor irritation. A little goes a long way

Saved my skin during the winter
Such a great multi-purpose product!! I’ll use under my eyes if my skin is dry, or if I’m using an active that I know will dry my skin. I also would slather it on during the winter if I was walking or running outside and I knew it would be windy. It really helped against windburn.
