BIO
| Don Taylor was born
in Edmonton, AB in 1951 and grew up in Windsor, ON. He received a Master
of Arts in Romance Languages from the University of Windsor in 1973. In 1977 Don studied bookbinding with Beatrice Stock and in 1979-80 with Seamus McClafferty and Annegret Hunter-Eisenbach at Sheridan College. He studied for a further two years with Betsy Palmer Eldridge and has taken workshops on a wide variety of subjects with many leading bookbinders from Canada, the United States, and Britain. Since 1984 Don has been teaching for the Canadian Bookbinders and Book Artists Guide and Sir Sanford Fleming College among others. Since starting his binding studio in 1980, Don has worked on restoration, portfolios, and small edition binding, and has been developing as a designer and book artist. He makes decorated papers and is interested in innovative book structures and boxes. He is proprietor of Pointyhead Press, which produces short run editions, often involving found text and illustrations 'found' in pieces of his paste papers. He is also a founding member of the Binders of Infinite Love, an affiliate of the Loving Society of Letterpress Printers. Don's work has appeared in exhibitions across Canada and in Japan, Italy, and France. He received the Henry R. Jackman Award for Best in Show in the 1993 Art of the Book exhibition. Examples of his work can be found in private and public collections in Canada, the United States, Japan, and the United Kingdom. |
