Hoboken Talks: Barbara Mauriello, bookbinder, talks with Bob Foster
November 1, 2022 @ 12:00 am
Join us online Thursday, November 3 at 7:00 pm when Bob Foster talks with Barbara Mauriello, artist and proprietor of her own bookbinding studio. In Barbara’s words, “I fell in love with the Center For Book Arts, at its location on Bleecker and The Bowery, the moment I walked through the door. My two-year bookbinding apprenticeship, combined with a master’s degree in painting, led me into the world of Artists’ Books.” Participate live via the “Chat” feature on YouTube and Facebook.
Barbara has spent over four decades making artists’ books, teaching bookbinding, and collaborating with visual artists and writers in producing limited editions of their work in the book format. Her career reflects a fusion of two educational experiences: a Master of Arts (Painting) from New York University; and an Apprenticeship in Bookbinding at the Center For Book Arts in New York City.
Her faculty positions include several New York institutions: the Center For Book Arts; International Center of Photography; School of Visual Arts; Bank Street College, Graduate School of Education; and the State University of New York, Purchase. Off and on, between 1990 and 2020, she’s taught in the MFA program in Printmaking + Bookbinding at The University of the Arts, Philadelphia.
Barbara’s presented workshops at many universities, museums, and arts centers throughout the U.S., including Haystack Mountain School of Crafts; Penland Mountain School of Crafts; Paper & Book Intensive; and Book Arts Roundtable.
Her Artists’ Books are in many private collections and special collections in museums and libraries in North America and in France. She’s participated in over 60 exhibitions, nationally and internationally.
In addition to her book, Making Memory Boxes (Rockport Publishers, 2000), Barbara is also a featured artist and author in The Penland Book of Handmade Books (Lark Books, 2004); a featured artist in Masters Book Arts (Lark Books, 2011); Playing With Paper (Helen Hiebert, Quarry Books, 2012); A Show of Hands (Hearst Books, 1994); Innovation from Tradition in the Book Arts (American Craft, Oct/Nov 1993); and Portfolio (American Craft, Oct/Nov 1989.)
