Note from the Editor….
The Newsletter “Canadian Leathercraft” is your source of information about CSCL and its members. Also check out the CSCL website at www.canadianleathercraft.org and CSCL’s Facebook page.
I am always looking for articles for the Newsletter, do you have a project that you have done that you think everyone would be interested in seeing, we are looking for articles?
This edition has articles from Members-At-Large. We hope you find them informative.
Highlights from the Past Executive Council Meetings….
The CSCL Executive continues to meet on Zoom.
At the September meeting the Workshop Committee announced that they were doing a Workshop at the Norland Branch on Clutch Purses. Everyone had a very creative day.
At the October meeting Jim Wilkes did a 15 minute presentation on creating the Bible cover he did for the 2022 Annual. This was shown in one of the previous Newsletters.
At the November meeting there was discussion about Tool Sales. If you have any tools that you are interested in selling please send the information in and we will advertise it in the Newsletter OR if you are looking for a specific tool and have been unable to find it maybe someone has an extra that they would be willing to sell. Let us know.

Fish Skins, Fish Skins – Get your creative juices bubbling.
One of our Corporate Members – Stanley Major from Sea Leather Wear supplied Fish Skins to the CSCL. The skins were sent to the Branch Presidents to be distributed to branch members. The MAL were contacted by Lauren to see if any of them wanted a Fish Skin to use in making an item. Seek out your President and ask for some skins if you weren’t aware of them.
