Traditional hand bookbinding and book conservation-restoration. After initial training at the Getty Research Institute, California, my career before private practice was in major USA and UK collections, finally being Head of The Royal Bindery in Windsor Castle. Visitors will learn about materials, equipment and historic techniques I use.

Directions
From the A40 at Nantgaredig take the B4310 north towards Brechfa. Shortly after passing the Felingwmisaf “Croeso/Welcome” sign, turn sharp right downhill. Follow this lane for 1.7 miles until the gateway to Ynyswen (large yellow house) is on the right. Drive in, park on the left in front of the house and follow signs to the studio in rear outbuildings. Do not go into Ynyswen Farm next door. There are other routes but this one is easiest.
