about us

Stuart Hill is the founder of George Hill & Co., an establishment devoted to the craft of bookbinding.  Years ago, Stuart stubbled across bookbinding as a hobby interest which soon turned into a serious pursuit.  With a background in engineering and architectural design, Stuart soon discovered that the book is a technical structure where everything is done for a reason.  His greatest enjoyment is the research and discovery of new book formats which may require dissection, recreation, and of course much practise.
 
Stuart is always ready to share his discoveries through workshops and direct inquires.  It is a significant role for him to pass along his knowledge so that he contributes to the survival of ancient crafts.
 
Stuart also established the George Hill & Co. as a supplier of tools and materials to the Canadian bookbinding, print and art pursuits.
