Don Taylor is a bookbinder and restorer who works and teaches in Toronto. He has taught for CBBAG since 1984. He was trained in bookbinding and design at Sheridan College and the Three Schools of Art and has studied with Betsy Palmer Eldridge. His work is exhibited widely and is represented in public and private collections across Canada. He can be found at dontaylorbookbinder.com 

Timothy Dyck grew up on the prairies, where the big skies and open spaces inspired his artistic development. This eventually led to an MFA degree in Montreal, and part of that experience was an apprenticeship in bookbinding. Now Tim is a bookbinder living in Durham, Ontario. He is on the executive committee of the CBBAG Southwestern Ontario chapter. He can be found at colourjar.ca
