The SPD Bookbindery, established in 1986, is one of the longest-standing programmes under the
Sheltered Workshop that provides employment opportunities for persons with disabilities.
The bookbindery provides a platform for our craftspeople to hone skills in perfecting the art of
book-making, book restoration and crafts-making. Each craftsman and woman brings his or her
unique skill set to the team, creating artisanal journals and storing old treasured books, giving
them a new else of life.
Building their legacy, the bookbinders paved the way for new artisans to be developed. The new outfit now sees a succession of younger persons with disabilities being trained in leather- crafting, stitching together lifestyle products perfect as gifts for friends, loved ones, and corporate partners.
A finishing touch of initials or names hot-stamped on every creation adds individuality and
elegance to these socially empowering gifts.
