Dragon Press Bindery

Bookbinding
Dragon Press Bindery is run by Dieter and Philippa Rader at their historic Cothi Valley home, where they provide services in fine hand bookbinding, book and archives conservation-restoration and letterpress printing.  Between them they have almost 70 years of experience working both independently and within major institutions.

Committed to keeping alive and passing on specialist skills and knowledge, particularly concerning traditional craft techniques, the bindery also holds tuition workshops from beginner to advanced level.

Visitors will have the opportunity to tour the studio and learn about materials and equipment used, as well as see some brief demonstrations of processes involved.

Directions to studio

From the A40 at Nantgaredig, take the B4310 north toward Brechfa.  In Felingwmisaf turn sharp right (eastward) downhill after the 'Croeso/Welcome' sign then follow this lane up, down and round for 1.7 miles until you see the entrance on the right marked "Ynyswen".  The studio is in the outbuildings of the large, yellow house.  There are other routes: a postcode search locates the property exactly and online directions are reliable.
