Dragon Press Bindery

Bookbinding

Dragon Press Bindery is run by Dieter and Philippa Räder 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.
